The 10 Best Things to do in Kingstown, St. Vincent
Kingstown, the capital of St. Vincent and the Grenadines, is a major port city for the Caribbean island chain. The city features a series of surviving 19th century buildings, including St George's Cathedral, known for its beautiful stained glass, and the Romanesque Cathedral of the Assumption. In the wharf area, visitors can see structures built from the tile and red brick that was used as ballast on trading ships from Britain, or head up to Fort Charlotte for a stunning view of the city.

Beautiful little beach located just into Villa when heading from Kingstown or Arnos Vale. There’s plenty of room to sit and relax on this beach although watch out as the sea rises quite a bit and may wet your stuff. There’s snorkelling out by the rocks where you can see plenty of local fish etc, there’s even eels to see especially in the grass. In terms of food, there’s a hut by the main entrance which sells local food and drink, beers are round 5-6EC (~2US) and there are a few people wandering selling things but no where near as much as in Villa beach

The perfect finish to an island tour, with superb views back over Kingstown and the surrounding area, as well as our cruise ship. The fort has been pretty well maintained, and is free to enter.

This market area is extremely crowded on weekends as locals cart in fresh foods to sell.

This place is so fascinating. The produce is so fresh and because of St. Vincent's volcanic soil, it is so flavorful. There are so many herbs and spices being sold and the ladies selling them are happy to tell you how to use them. A must-see stop.
