HOTEL ON BEACH:
Palm Island Beach Club. TEL (809) 458-4804. The one and only hotel on privately-owned Palm Island. Formerly known as Prune Island - prior to the planting of some 2,000 palm trees - this is an  exclusive bungalow style resort. Bring money or an unused credit card.

LOCAL ATTRACTIONS:
Tobago Cays. These four beautiful islets are just off the north of St. Vincent and claim some fabulous beaches and blue, blue water. No problem hiring a taxi boat for the day.


ACCESS TO BEACH:
Water access only: available to the public.

QUALITY OF BEACH:
A sloping sandy beach gracefully arches its way into the clear azure water surrounding Palm Island. A small dock slices the beach in half. Like  the water by all beaches in the Grenadines, Casuarina Beach is impossibly turquoise blue.

ADDITIONAL COMMENTS:
There is an excellent beachside restaurant alongside a lovely little gift shop stocking worthy  Caribbean themed items for your souvenir collection. There is a clear view of Union Island in the distance along with other 'sister' Grenadines such as Carriacou and Mayreau. The hotel operates a launch to and from Union Island for daytrippers. Watersport equipment  and chairs are only for use of hotel guests.
