Early light strips across Kingstown Harbour and the water goes clear as glass beneath the hull of a crystal kayak. Paddling off Villa Beach, the shoreline slides past—steep volcanic ridges, the squat silhouette of Fort Duvernette, and the small green crown of Young Island just offshore. The sea seems to invite exploration; currents nudge you toward rocky outcrops where reef fish flash like coins.
