Happy Island, The Grenadines

How can you not be happy at Happy Island? A work in progress built in a shallow area in Clifton Harbour, Union Island – part of the Grenadines chain, this colorful oasis is challenging to reach – but well worth it.

The owner/builder, Janti Ramage, built this unique place, which is also his residence, out of conch shells found in the area.

A shallow bottomed boat is needed to get to Happy Island as it sits on a reef in just a few feet of water.

We visited Happy Island during a sail on the Daimant (Island Windjammers) which made a stop in Clifton Harbour during our sail and dinghied guests to Happy Island for an afternoon of fun.

Janti is quite the host and loves to visit with and show guests the entire compound which now includes a separate apartment which he resides in.

Such a unique experience and good rum punch topped off with a show by kiteboarders in Clifton Harbour sailing right over Happy Island.
Awesome.
