Details About Bequia

Destinations » Caribbean » Caribbean - Southern » Bequia


The Grenadines comprise a string of 100 tiny, rocky islands and cays, which are scattered between St. Vincent and Grenada. Bequia, called "the island of the clouds" by the Carib Indians, is the largest of the St. Vincent dependencies. The seven-square-mile island attracts a good number of yachtsmen and smaller cruise ships. Boat building and repair work is the main industry, but tourism is becoming increasingly important. Apart from unspoiled beaches, the island's interior consists of hilly and forested terrain, interspersed with a variety of fruit and nut trees.

Attractions

The main village is Port Elizabeth located at Admiralty Bay; its anchorage is dotted with numerous luxury yachts. From Port Elizabeth a walk up Mount Pleasant is worthwhile for the spectacular view of Admiralty Bay. The nearest beach is a pleasant, tree-lined stretch of sand known as Princess Margaret beach. Snorkeling is especially good at Northwest Point, Spring Bay and Friendship Bay. All of these beaches require taxi transportation. Although the sea is usually gentle, at times there may be a powerful surf and strong undertow requiring great caution.

Adventures

Bequia's dive sites are recognized as some of the finest in the Caribbean. Devil's Table offers a shallow dive, rich in fish and coral plus a sailboat wreck nearby and a 90-foot drop at The Wall.

Shopping

Few visitors come here because of the shopping. But items such as batik fabric, miniature model boats, handicrafts, tea and spices may be of interest. Most of the shops face Admiralty Bay. .

Currency

The local currency is the Eastern Caribbean dollar; U.S. dollars are widely accepted
