Mopion Island
Mopion Island is a minute sandbar islet in the far southern Grenadines, near Petit St Vincent, accessible only by boat and with no facilities of any kind. It offers shallow, flat, crystal-clear water for intermediate-to-expert kiters, best sailed at high tide to clear the surrounding reef and coral.
