Young Island

Young Island is a small landmass located just south of the main island of Saint Vincent. It is separated from the mainland by a narrow strait of approximately 180 meters. Travelers visit this location for its seclusion and its position as one of the smallest islands within the Grenadines chain.

Getting There

Access to the island is via boat from the Kingstown area. Because it is located across a short stretch of water, the transit time is brief, though the exact duration depends on the departure point and the vessel used.

Duration of Visit

Depending on the intended activity, visitors typically spend a few hours to a full day on the island. The small size of the landmass means there is limited ground to cover.

When to Visit

Visitors should plan their trip around local weather patterns, avoiding the peak of the hurricane season. There are no specific peak hours, but arriving earlier in the day allows for more time to explore the coastline.

Nearby Attractions

The island is positioned close to several landmarks in Kingstown. After leaving the island, you can visit the following sites on the mainland:

  • St. George's Cathedral (4.1km)
  • Roman Catholic Diocese of Kingstown (4.1km)
  • Assumption Cathedral (4.2km)
  • Botanic Gardens St. Vincent (5.2km)
