Owia Salt Pond

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.
