About The Port Of Canouan
Canouan lies in the southern Grenadines, a compact island of roughly three square miles set some 20 miles south of Mustique. Its coastline alternates between calm, protected bays and open Atlantic shore, and the surrounding waters hold one of the larger coral reef systems in the Caribbean, drawing snorkelers and divers to its clear shallows. The island's small size and light development have kept its beaches largely uncrowded.
Calls typically anchor offshore, with tenders ferrying travelers to the island's marina, a convenient base for kayaking and other easygoing water activities. Beyond the shoreline, Canouan's pace stays unhurried, with little in the way of dense development to distract from the scenery. It suits those drawn to a quieter corner of the Grenadines, where the appeal lies less in landmarks than in open water, fine sand, and easy access to the reef just offshore.
Pavlus Recommendations
How our planners would spend a day in Canouan.
Snorkel the Barrier Reef
Glide over one of the Caribbean's larger coral reef systems just offshore, with clear, shallow water suited to all skill levels. Gear and boat trips are easily arranged near the marina.
Kayak the Marina Waters
Paddle out from the tender dock into calm, protected bays for an easy, low-effort way to see the coastline. Rentals sit right at the marina, so no transfer time is needed.
Relax on a Quiet Beach
Find a stretch of uncrowded sand along the calmer leeward side or the wilder Atlantic shore, each just a short walk or taxi ride from the landing point.
