The centre of the island is hilly and forested, providing a dramatic backdrop to the bays and beaches. Admiralty Bay, the island's natural harbour, is a favourite anchoring spot for yachtsmen from all over the world, and here visitors can watch men building their boats by hand on the shores. The attractive region around Lower Bay has good opportunities for swimming and other watersports. The quaint waterfront of Port Elizabeth is lined with bars, restaurants and craft shops. Bequia is encircled by gold-sand beaches, many of which disappear into coves, excellent for sailing, scuba diving and snorkelling.
Lodgings vary from luxurious resort cottages to small, simple West Indian inns.
Much of the nightlife centres on the hotels and beachside barbecues, invariably accompanied by a steel band. From North America we suggest that our guests fly to San Juan and then take American Eagle to St. Vincent and then of course the Ferry to Bequia. From Canada we suggest that you fly to Barbados and then let us arrange your connecting flight on to Bequia. From Europe the same route is recommended via Barbados by Virgin Air, BWIA, BA, Air Jamaica and other Charter Airlines.
