About Bequia

Bequia combines a working harbor with the relaxed pace of a small Grenadine island. Port Elizabeth, Belmont Walkway, Admiralty Bay, boatyards, local restaurants, and nearby beaches can fill several unhurried days, while sailing and snorkeling trips depend on sea conditions and a reputable skipper. The island's hills and winding roads are not designed for rushed walking, and water taxis are part of the practical transport network. Confirm ferry or flight connections, protect reef life, ask permission for people and workshop photography, and leave a weather buffer around every inter-island transfer.
