Canouan – calm sailing anchorage
Canouan is a calm anchorage with some great diving
Canouan is only five square miles in size, and it has the gorgeous white sand beaches that the Grenadines are famous for. The island has lush green rolling hills, and one of the largest coral reefs anywhere, home to a number of multi coloured fish and marine life. Snorkeling and scuba diving is very popular here with some fantastic underwater coral gardens.
Canouan is an island in transition. For many years it was a retreat known and loved by a few people in the know, until it was discovered and one of the most exclusive five star resorts was built.
A decade ago it was a sleepy island that time forgot. The vast injection of new money has rapidly transformed the island, with many fancy new houses built by locals. Glossy Hill is currently being removed to provide material for an airport extension.
Caanoun offers spectacular beaches, great views, and lovely walks almost anywhere.
