Description:

Kingstown is the capital as well as the main port for St Vincent and The Grenadines. It lies on the southwestern coast of St. Vincent and is a attractive busy little city with cobbled streets.

It is known for its Botanical Gardens, founded in 1765 and home to tropical plants and aviaries. On a ridge above the bay, the 1806 Fort Charlotte offers panoramic views of the archipelago. The city center has 19th-century churches such as St. Mary’s Cathedral and the Kingstown Market sells local produce.

Cruiser Highlights:

The opening of the St. Vincent Marine Center at the Ottley Hall Shipyard makes this a viable place for getting work done on your boat.

Fuel is available here and the provisioning is good.

Entrance Notes and Cautions:

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 and updates, plus how you can help.
