Not to be confused with 'St. Vincent and the Grenadines'. That's another area in LD.

It is a small group of islands, administered by St. Vincent, for which separate stamp issues are made.

Large numbers of expensive editions (1973-1994) were produced for the Grenadines (the group of islands 'Grenadines of St. Vincent), and for each island individually (from 1984 onwards), almost exclusively for consumption by stamp collectors.

The group consists of the islands of Bequia, Union Island, Canouan, Mayreau, Mustique, Palm Island, Tobago Cays and Young Island.
The stamps of each of those islands sometimes mention the name 'Grenadines of St. Vincent' next to the island name. On LD, these are all separate areas.
Sometimes to please the tourists (of the 'better' segment), sometimes purely for commercial reasons (money gain), sometimes also with an ecological background (eg financing the management of a natural park on Tobago Cays).
