St Vincent Attractions
St Vincent is the largest island in the chain and home to 90 percent of the country's population. It stretches 30 km (18 mi) from end to end and is just over 18 km (11 mi) wide.
The interior is lush and mountainous with La Soufrière, an active volcano, forming the highest point on the island. The Atlantic coast with its rugged landscape of cliffs, rocky shores, and pounding waves stands in contrast to the valleys, beaches and tranquil waters of the leeward side of the island.
