Martinique,
with its unmistakably French ambience and baguettes for breakfast has a true
cosmopolitan air. Here you will find a small museum dedicated to Paul
Gauguin. There are 12 wrecks to dive to offshore.
St. Lucia can be the jumping off point for an exhilarating sail down
to Grenada. It is mountainous and luxuriant and it is here you will
see the stunning twin peaks of The Pitons which rise over 2,000 feet. The
rain forest is home to orchids and giant ferns. You can actually drive
into the volcano at Soufriere.
You must make enough time to visit the beautiful Tobago Cays in the Grenadines.
Here you can anchor in the lee of the reef and find some of the best snorkeling
anywhere.
There is Bequia and the snug protected harbor at Admiralty Bay, and
visit the pristine beaches along the western shore that may be reached by
dinghy. |
