Union Island
Union island is an amazing place!
Situated here in the Grenadines, you can't miss out this wonderful spot on your travels down here
It's by no means the prettiest place but it is the friendliest and most colourful place!
If you arrive by boat you have to snag a mooring ball by Happy Island, which is an island as well as a bar!
Check out the bar around 4pm as nearly most days you'll see 'Poke-man' doing his thing
-and by thing we mean INSANE kite surfing shows!
he sometimes has others with him but usually it's just him flying about the bar
hold a beer or some cash out to him from the bar and he'll fly along to pick it up with flair!
(check out the video below!)
As for Union itself you have some awesome spots to check out, if you want to hike, go up towards the Hospital, simply walk through the town (if you can keep yourself away from the amazing markets and shops there) and keep walking all the way up to get an amazing view of the Tobago cays, palm island and Mayreau!)
Union's town is seaside and you can arrive in your dinghy tie up in the adorable 'dinghy dock' (closed when the Sargasso gets heavy in the bay) and head left along to the local markets
At the local markets we found Jenny's fruit stand, Jenny is a lovely woman with crazy hair who sells amazing fruit smoothies as well as locally sourced veggies and fruits!
We also went to the other ladies market stalls too as some will have what you need and if they don't, they know who does!
(sharing the love!)
Walk a little further up and you'll find Salty girl, a unique boutique shop with some beautiful little trinkets, Ladies you don't want to miss this! Feel like a mermaid with their swimsuits, cover ups and jewellery!

We went to the little arts boutique opposite where the fruit markets are, (they also organise the kitesurfing and wake boarding lessons here) and you can grab a great deal on crystals and pearls fashioned into beautiful bracelets and necklaces!
They also do hand made art, paintings and maps etc, the owner is a lovely man who is happy to explain how and where the object is made.
