Overview
Union Island is one of the smaller and friendliest islands in the Grenadines chain, volcanic in origin with thick green rainforest, sharp rock peaks, and jagged mountains towering several thousand feet. Clifton, the commercial hub on the harbor, is neat and attractive with colorful shops, bars, and restaurants within a 4-block walk.
