Chateaubelair
Local attractions include Trinity Falls, Dark View Falls, and rock carvings which are an archaeological find and are believed to have been left by Kalinago (an indigenous people formerly known as Island Caribs).
Many activities are available year-round, spearfishing is now illegal in all of the Grenadines, more common to the Caribbean as a whole, dominoes, basketball, soccer and cricket.
The local economy is mainly supported by farming.
Chateaubelair is not a developed area, and though it has much appeal for tourists, it does not have much support. However, anyone looking to experience true Caribbean culture instead of a manufactured offering, should consider the natural environmental beauty and friendly, genuine people of Chateaubelair.
In the 1790s, Chateaubelair was the scene of some parts of the anti-British rebellion led by Joseph Chatoyer.
