HURRICANE BERYL: The island nations of St. Vincent and the Grenadines and Grenada were the worst affected by Hurricane Beryl at the start of July 2024. The Grenadines, Carriacou, Petit Martinique and Union Island were particularly hard hit. While the islands are recovering and all major marine services are back up and running (apart from on Union Island), cruisers should be aware that the islands are still in recovery mode and some services may still be limited or not available.
Blue Lagoon is surrounded by palm trees and this area, with its lovely beach, provides a very pleasant anchorage. The marina and hotel were completely refurbished during 2014.
La Soufrière volanco on the northern end of St. Vincent erupted on Friday April 9, 2021. 16,000 people had to be evacuated and falling ash was felt on all neighbouring islands. See this news report for the details.
When arriving in St. Vincent, Blue Lagoon, there are two channels to choose from:
At night or in difficult conditions, there is plenty of room to anchor outside the marina and there are mooring buoys not far away. The maximum length here is 80ft and boats of that size will need pilot assistance.

Posted on behalf of Jim Rolt:
At first sight, late in the afternoon, Blue Lagoon can look rather abandoned. There are several wrecks dotted around the edge of the lagoon, and the whole place has the general air of a building site.
However, on closer inspection and in business hours only, the marina is open and being refurbished.
It’s a small marina with a few pontoon berths which seem to contain mostly catamarans, but there are plenty of mooring buoys and space to anchor, the latter being free.
Diesel and petrol are available at the pontoon, as is water, which is charged by the tankful. Free wifi is available near to the pontoons/marina office.
There are a bar and a very small mini market, a sail loft, but no sign of the oft rumoured customs and immigration facility. There is also a restaurant and hotel which are currently undergoing refurbishment.
No gas (propane) here, but showers are available and you can use the dinghy pontoon without charge close outside the office.
Security appears good with uniformed guards on shore apparently 24/7. Entry between the lit port and starboard markers to the east is straightforward with a minimum of 2.6m when I crossed at half tide.
