You step out of an air-conditioned transfer and the island exhales: humid salt, green heat, and the distant rumble of surf. The road climbs briefly, and the capital Kingstown shrinks to a scattering of red roofs while the Grenadines glitter like coins on the horizon. This is the rhythm of Saint Vincent — compact, volcanic, and honest — a day of short walks, sudden pools, and a movie set that still bristles with props.
