Mermer Advices
Once you have completed your formalities, you can take a taxi around the island and visit the south coast.
Before going down further south in the Grenadines, or during your ascent, don't hesitate to anchor a few hours downwind of Petit Nevis. The walk to the top is worth a look.
It is on this island that whales used to be skinned.
