Is March Right for You?
Weigh the advantages and considerations before booking
- + Trade-winds blow steady at 15-20 knots. The Grenadines become a sailor's playground. Flat-water reaches link Bequia and Mustique. You can broad-reach all afternoon.
- + Humpback whales still migrate north now. Catch the early mail boat from Kingstown. Half the time you'll spot blows off Union Island's leeward coast.
- + Room rates drop 25-30% after Valentine's week. Beachfront cottages on Lower Bay suddenly answer. February sold out; March picks up.
- + March nights hit 20°C (68°F). Sleep with windows wide open. Skip the AC surcharge hotels quietly add in summer.
- − The Sahara dust layer drifts in mid-month. Sky glazes beige. Allergies spike. Sensitive travelers, pack antihistamines.
- − Catamaran day-trips sell out fast. Wait until you arrive and you'll watch boats leave for Tobago Cays without you.
- − Some beach bars on smaller cays close after Carnival. Annual maintenance shutters shacks. Call ahead if you crave that particular rum punch.

Best Activities in March
Top things to do during your visit
March trades give you a perfect beam-reach from Bequia to Mustique. No pounding through chop. The 19 km (12 mile) stretch takes 90 minutes under sail. You'll anchor in Britannia Bay before day-trippers arrive from St Vincent. Water temperature sits at 26°C (79°F). Snorkel the Mustique reef without a rashie.
Morning cloud keeps the crater rim at 24°C (75°F). March showers have packed the trail. You won't eat volcanic dust. The 9 km (5.6 mile) Vermont Nature Trail ascent starts cool at 07:00. You're back in Richmond Vale before 11 am sun turns serious.
March water clarity hits 30 m (98 ft) visibility. The reef wakes after winter. Hawksbills cruise seagrass beds by 09:30. Anchored charter cats haven't spooked them yet. Current between Petit Rameau and Petit Bateau runs mellow. Good for drift-snorkeling with a GoPro.
Saturday morning is peak. Breadfruit roasts over charcoal outside. Nutmeg scent drifts from spice stalls. Vendors shout prices in Vincy patios. March brings the first dasheen harvest. You'll see fresh tarro fritters, crispy outside, purple-sweet inside, fried while you wait.
The humpback corridor runs 3 km (1.9 miles) offshore. Local whalers-turned-guides know the exact contour. Mothers rest there with calves. March 15-April 10 is the sweet spot. Calves surface more often. Adults breach heading north. Tours leave Paget Farm at dawn. Sea is glassy. Blow spouts catch the low sun.
