Tour Black Point Tunnel with Guide & Swimming Owia Salt Pond
Overview
The Owia Salt Pond is a unique and beautiful ocean fed bathing pool, perched at the northern tip of the windward side of St Vincent. Volcanic rock formations surround the pool and reef fish and coral formations add colour and life to the pool. Above the pond is a peaceful garden, with gazebos, food and drink, and a children’s play area. The park is connected to the pool with approximately 217 steps. A littoral forest is a significant feature of the park and the forest serves to protect the steep slopes rising from the pond to the park.
This tunnel is about 300 feet long and links Grand Sable with Byrea Bay.The tunnel was constructed by the British with the help of Slave labour in about 1815 to provide an access route for sugar exports.The estates north of Byrea were distributed to British settlers after the end of the Second Carib War in 1796 for the cultivation of sugar cane.The tunnel was a masterpiece of engineering skill for its time.
