Go Off the Beaten Path at Saint Vincent and the Grenadines

06 Swim the Owia Salt Pond

Located on the north-eastern part of Saint Vincent, near the village of the same name, the salt pond is the result of ocean water spilling into a bowl created during a volcanic eruption. Locals believe the saltwater has healing properties. Whether true or not, many find a swim in the pond relaxing and therapeutic. Plan your trip carefully, as the pond is closed at night.
