Ins & Outs of SVG 2020

MAYREAU DISCOVER BEQUIA 75 INS OUT Friendship Bay On the south side, Friendship Bay is a sheltered, crescent shaped bay with lots of shade. It’s a good alternative anchorage for yachts and offers great snorkeling, scuba diving and windsurfing conditions. The stylish Bequia Beach Hotel is located here – enquire about their day passes, starting at US$75, and take advantage of the hotel’s first class facilities. Spring Bay & Industry On the eastern side of the island this stretch of often deserted coastline is shaded by wooded hills and countless coconut palms – good conditions for kitesurfing and windsurfing and perfect for picnics! Crescent Beach on Industry Bay is the best for swimming and snorkeling on this side of the island. The delightful Sugar Reef Café is right by the waterside, offering delicious meals and drinks, including fresh coconut water... for those who enjoy a tipple, try it with a little rum! < A Hidden Gem If you can find it, Hope Bay on the east coast is good for beachcombing and a great spot for picnics with a group of friends. Pounded by the Atlantic surf, it’s also good for body surfing but only if you’re a strong swimmer. Beware of strong undercurrents and be sure to stay within your depth. Blessings > Water taxis are a great option for getting to and from Princess Margaret and Lower Bay beaches. Contact Didi, who operates Blessings water taxi: (784) 455-5681, she will navigate you safely to and from any point in Admiralty Bay, including Bar One , the not-to-be-missed floating bar in the bay.
