'Palm Island' in the
Grenadines is a tiny island a mile from
Union Island, and 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 Coconuts") and his wife Mary, planted hundreds of
coconut palms, transforming the deserted and
swamp infested island into a palm covered one.
The island is currently the site of a
resort and about twenty private residences.
