Just a short sail southeast from Union takes you to the secluded island hideaway of Petit St. Vincent, free from phones, television, casinos or anything else that might take away from the experience. The beaches are lovely, providing many charming walks, and the snorkeling opportunities on the surrounding reef are also noteworthy.

In minutes, you can sail to Petit Martinique, a small, enchanting island that you can walk or hike around in less than an hour. And if you’re lucky, you may have the opportunity to observe native ceremonies and traditions like the famous Big Drum Dance, or the launching of a locally built wooden boat, for which Petit Martinique is famous.
