Ins & Outs of SVG 2020

Stocking up in As the gateway to the beautiful sailing grounds of the Grenadine isles, Bequia offers a full range of services and supplies to the marine traveller. Whatever your tastes, Port Elizabeth is your one-stop harbour to provision your yacht or stock your kitchen for a self-catering holiday. Grenadine Wild Sea Salt Grenadine Sea Salt is one sea salt that may soon be recognised as the world’s finest tasting gourmet sea salt, and by lab tests, it remarkably may be the very healthiest too, containing even more trace elements and minerals than the leading brands. It’s a finishing salt; just add a little to enhance and enliven flavour on any plate, in any glass, or even in a decadent salt massage. Five wholly organic sea salt blends are available, each named for a Grenadine island and celebrating indigenous ingredients. ‘St. Vincent’ is a fusion of healthy turmeric and zesty chili pepper, ‘Bequia’ features tropical toasty coconut, ‘Mustique’ pairs succulent mango with lime, ‘Canouan’ blends rich cinnamon with sweet nutmeg and ‘Mayreau’ is a tantalisingly sensuous dark rum sea salt.

The tap water here is good to drink so please carry your own water bottle with you and refill as needed.
