Owia Salt Pond, St. Vincent, St. Vincent and the Grenadines

4.5 (34 reviews) Spent Ranking #8 in St. Vincent Bodies of Water

The pond of great beauty and magic

The Owia Salt Pond is located on the North Eastern Coast of St. Vincent in the village of Owia which is home to some of the indigenous people of St. Vincent and the Grenadines - the Black Caribs. The salt water pond is sheltered from the sea by the numerous volcanic boulders which surround it. The two hour drive from Kingstown along the Eastern Coast takes you to this recreation site which occupies a fairly extensive area of well maintained grounds which leads down to the sea where the salt pond is situated. Traditionally, it has been used as a therapeutic bathing pond. Facilities at the park include gazebos, fire pits, restroom and shower. It is the ideal place for swimming or a picnic.

    Beautiful blend of volcanic rock, sea and mountain views
    After traveling down a long and steep flight of stairs you will find this little piece of tranquility. The volcanic rocks reach out into the ocean providing a natural barrier for the sea. However small flows of ocean water make there way in providing the ponds within the rock formation. Due to the intense heat, portions of the water evaporate causing a slightly higher salt concentration in the water ponds. Sitting in the ponds you can see either the ocean or the mountains. At the top of the stairs is a great picnic area that provides nice views of the ponds. A very tranquil spot to spend a few hours swimming, and picnicking.
