Palm Island St Vincent and the Grenadines Postcard
This postcard features Palm Island (part of St. Vincent and the Grenadines).It is a small island one mile from Union Island and it is only accessible by boat. It has an area of 135 acres and has five beaches. Originally known as Prune Island, Palm Island got its current name when the former owners, the late John Caldwell ("Johnny Coconut") and his wife Mary, planted hundreds of coconut palms transforming the deserted, swampy, and mosquito-infested island into a palm covered one. After Union Island built its own airstrip, they gave up their own grass airstrip so that more palm trees could be planted. The circular air traffic control building remains although it is now used as a nursery for young palms. Enjoy your new Palm Island St Vincent and the Grenadines Postcard!
