About Kingstown
Kingstown rises around a sheltered harbor, the laid-back capital of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines on Saint Vincent’s southwestern coast.
The waterfront, steep hills and painted buildings give Kingstown a relaxed, lived-in feel, with traces of colonial history in its churches and stonework. Kingstown Market fills the center with local produce, while St. Vincent Botanical Gardens brings tropical plant life close to town.
Fort Charlotte overlooks the harbor and surrounding coast, and ferry departures from Kingstown connect with Bequia. The waterfront district puts restaurants, the market and the ferry terminal within easy reach, with roasted breadfruit and fried jackfish among the local dishes.
