Union Island Known as the bustling gateway and yachting hub of the Southern Grenadines, Union Island, with its dramatic, volcanic peaks, is often called the “Tahiti of the West Indies.” The main village of Clifton is a vibrant anchorage offering plenty of charming restaurants, bars, and shops where you can clear customs and stock up for sea voyages. Famous for its world-class kitesurfing conditions off Kite Beach, Union is a friendly, active base for sailing enthusiasts, hikers, and adventurers looking to explore the natural beauty and local culture of the smaller, surrounding cays.
