Arrived in St Vincent's capital Kingstown, a fairly grubby place so decided on a beach day & took a water taxi from the dock to Villa beach. It was a decent boat taking 15 minutes around two headlands to the southern coast. Some misleading TripAdvisor reviews led me to expect a great beach but it was small & very narrow. The mixed coral & volcanic sand was good but the black streaks made it look like dirty oil stains, but it was'nt.
As more people arrived it got crowded & hawkers were rife but it was great to get beer on the beach but I was disappointed to miss out on the homemade roti that sold like hotcakes. Someone stopped to yell at me but failed to make his point as I had no idea what he was talking about.
The weather was sunny & cloudy & then some light rain blew in followed by a torrential squall that emptied the beach - it seemed to come out of nowhere. The boat ride back was very misrable.
