Union: Protected Harbours, Kitesurfing, Sailing & Snorkeling
A charming destination and a great base to pick up a mooring in one of Unions protected harbours and explore the natural beauty of the region, Union is a paradise for yachting enthusiasts, scuba divers and kite surfers in particular. On the south coast, Ashton Harbour is a sheltered, shallow-water lagoon that is protected by both Frigate Island and an offshore reef system. Frigate Island is actually an isthmus, linked to the main island by a narrow strip of sand and mangroves. Though much of Ashton Harbour is shallow, the western edge of Frigate Island offers an alternative anchorage for visiting yachts. The expansive Chatham Bay almost entirely fills the west coast of Union. This very pretty bay has a nice beach and offers peace and seclusion for visiting sailboats. Running along the northern coastline are Richmond Bay and Belmont Bay, both of which have white sand beaches.
Beaches, Amenities, Well Connected
The beaches are stunning that surround the island and often deserted. There are a good selection of bars, restaurants and stores on Union and a bus route that connects the majority of the island. Grenada, one of the islands nearby is one of the fastest growing tourist destinations. The new airport due to be completed this year will increase the volume of visitors to the area increasing the need for additional accommodation both long term residential and vacation.
