Beach overall scores
Saline beach (Saint Vincent and the Grenadines) is located outside the Big Sands settlement, which may cause some difficulties for travelers who stay far from the coast. However, the remoteness from the village is not always a bad thing. Lovers of quiet rest know, the farther the beach, the fewer crowds.
The beach stretches on the coast of the Mayreau island and the easiest way to get to the beach is by car or bike. If you don't have this option, then the second best solution is to use the taxi, which can drive you directly to the beach. The only problem, if your stay is far away it can be quite expensive. There is also a possibility of use of public transport, but in this case you need to check the correct route to the Saline beach with the locals. Take into account that the bus stop is usually in some distance., but accessing the beach requires traversing some distance on foot. While driving or cycling are the most convenient options for reaching the start point of trail, these methods may not be feasible for everyone. Alternatively, a taxi can be used to drive directly to the location. Public transportation is another option, but it's important to confirm the correct route with locals beforehand as the bus stop may be located at some distance.

"I feel incredibly thankful for the chance to spend the day at this stunning beach. The water is so clear and the beach is kept incredibly clean. It was even more enjoyable with a talented local band playing and comfortable chairs to relax in. The snorkeling and paddleboarding activities made the experience even more relaxing and enjoyable. I really loved my time here."
Mara Cuello
"I spent the day and night on the catamaran at this beach. The beach had a lovely fine sandy texture and wasn't too crowded. On the left side of the pier, there was a charming little beach bar that served excellent cocktails at affordable prices. Throughout our stay, we enjoyed the lively sound of steel drums, which added to the fantastic atmosphere."
