Mopion island - Saint Vincent and the Grenadines
Supposedly the smallest island in the Caribbean, Mopion is more of a cay (a low inlet mainly composed of coral or sand) and its size depends on the tides. But its iconic umbrella is never quite submerged.
The very first name of the island seems to have been Morpion, with an R, “morpion” being the French word for “pubic louse.” But over time it appears the R has been removed according to more common Caribbean speech patterns. Mopion is part of the Saint Vincent and the Grenadines island chain and is considered by many to be a sort of geographical mascot for the whole area. It’s easy to see why.
A pure sandy beach surrounded by a lovely underwater reef, Mopion is a quiet gem in the middle of turquoise waters. At just 100 feet (30 meters) long or so (depending on the tides), the small sandbar is so low that a thatch umbrella was built on it for the sailors to spot from a distance to avoid dashing their vessels on the reef. The straw parasol is also the only protection against the sun for anyone marooned, intentionally or otherwise on the idyllic little piece of land. Visitors are also known to leave their mark carved into the trunk of the umbrella.

Petit St. Vincent - Mopion
About the smallest island you're ever going to see. Located about a half mile off Petite St. Vincent. Don't be fooled by the emptiness... it's a favorite destination for the yachts anchored nearby.
Ambient scene of Mopion, a beautiful little island in the Grenadines
This is a small sample of some static scenes we filmed on Mopion, a tiny deserted island in the Southern Grenadines just off the coast of Petit St Vincent and South of Union Island. It is well known for its signature palm tiki hut and pristine sand. Surrounded by turquoise water and beautiful reefs for snorkeling make this tiny island one of very large appeal to all sailors that cross its path.

Elegant Resorts - Petit St Vincent Private Island
A gloriously verdant 115-acre private island resort enveloped by two miles of soft white sand and accessible only by boat, this spectacular island, is a luxury hideaway of idyllic perfection and peaceful seclusion. Twenty-two gorgeous one and two-bedroom cottages are discreetly dotted around the island, each one created from indigenous materials of wood and stone and boasting stunning ocean views. Guests won’t find televisions in the cottages but conveniences, such as Bose® iPod docking stations and Nespresso coffee machines, are standard. The six beachfront two-bedroom cottages are particularly divine and comprise large patios with hammocks, open-plan outdoor living and dining areas and king-size and queen twin bedrooms, each with their own luxurious en suite bathroom.

St. Vincent & the Grenadines Day 4 - Island living
Day 4 in St.Vincent with my girlfriend exploring the middle of the island. It's been 15 years since I last visited the island. I previously spent only 1 day here before sailing to The Grenadines, so this time we decided to stay on the island to see all the wonderful spots the island has to offer. Here are some of the beautiful places we saw (☞ﾟ∀ﾟ)☞ Montreal Gardens, Dark View Falls & Grand Bonhomme Mountain witch is 973 m in hight.
