Bequia, St. Vincent and the Grenadines

Bequia is known as the Grenadines’ “big” small island for its captivating combination of great natural beauty, classic Caribbean experiences and unhurried ambience, all in just seven square miles. The capital, Port Elizabeth, is a yachting town with a village feel, set on the scenic natural anchorage of Admiralty Bay. At the bay’s western end, Princess Margaret Beach is one of the island’s many stunning stretches of sand. Turquoise waters and colorful reefs ring Bequia, offering great snorkeling and diving. A hike in the forested, hilly interior is rewarded with views of St. Vincent and other nearby islands like private Mustique. Bequia welcomes an eclectic crowd of sailors, beachgoers and expats who enjoy the warm, friendly hospitality, whether drinking the local brew at a laid-back bar or dining on gourmet fare in a fine restaurant.
