Full Address: Owia, St Vincent
Website: https://turtles.bequia.net/
About: On the rugged northern tip of mainland St Vincent, the Owia Salt Pond is a natural tidal bathing pool where volcanic rock barriers shelter warm, salty seawater from the crashing Atlantic, a Carib-country landmark reached through the village of Owia.
Why it is eco / at the source: A wholly natural sea-pond formed by lava-rock reefs, visited on foot with local guides through an indigenous Garifuna/Carib village; low-impact and community-tied rather than a built attraction.
Excerpt: A half-day open-top safari-jeep tour of Bequia's shorelines and history that visits the Old Hegg Turtle Sanctuary, home to protected juvenile hawksbill sea turtles and hatchlings, plus panoramic viewpoints.
