Ins & Outs of SVG 2020

Mayreau, with just one road, a single unnamed village, rain-caught drinking water, no airport, no bank and no electricity until 2003, represents a unique small island society. The mail boat, which arrives six days a week carrying much needed supplies, provides essential and affordable transport for residents to and from St. Vincent and other islands. Despite the fact that Mayreau remains relatively untouched, the islanders do cater to visitors with several bars, restaurants, shops and accommodation. And of course, in this stunning part of the world, Mayreau is developing because of course, more and more people want to be here. Salt Whistle Bay Photo: Mark Pratley
