Canouan is a small island in the Grenadines Islands belonging to Saint Vincent and the Grenadines with a population around 2000 inhabitants. A barrier reef runs along the Atlantic side of the island. The highest point on the island is Mount Royal. Two bays, Glossy and Friendship, separate the southern side of the Canouan Island. Canouan lies approximately 25 miles (40 km) south of St. Vincent which, from 1871 to 1969, was part of the British colony of the Windward Islands.
