Frequently Asked Questions
Nowhere — ships anchor in Admiralty Bay and tenders land passengers at the Port Elizabeth jetty. Bequia is the first of the Grenadines south of Saint Vincent, an island of 18 square kilometres whose bay fills with masts long before your ship arrives.
Yes, easily. The village runs along a single street curving around the bay, between the fruit market and the craft workshops. Twenty minutes on foot takes you from the jetty to Princess Margaret Beach along the Belmont Walkway. A taxi is only needed to cross the island, for the turtle sanctuary for instance.
A paved path that leaves the village and follows the bay right at the waterline, heading south. At high tide a little spray wets your ankles — that is part of the charm. Fish restaurants, juice bars and small inns face the anchored yachts, then a coastal track crosses a rocky point and drops down to Princess Margaret Beach.
Princess Margaret Beach, twenty minutes on foot from the jetty or five minutes by water taxi. It is a cove fringed with almond and sea grape trees, with clear and usually calm water, good for swimming and for snorkelling along the rocks. It is named for Queen Elizabeth II’s sister, who swam here in 1958.
Yes — Lower Bay, the next cove along. Two or three beach kitchens serve grilled lobster and local beer under the palms, and it draws fewer people than its neighbour. Water taxis shuttle between the jetty, the coves and the restaurants.
A morning covers it: the fruit market and the model-boat workshops, the Belmont Walkway to Princess Margaret Beach, a swim, then a fish lunch with your feet in the sand. If you would rather go inland, a fifteen-minute taxi reaches the Old Hegg turtle sanctuary.
A refuge founded in 1995 by Orton King, a retired fisherman, on the island’s Atlantic side. He raises and releases endangered hawksbill turtles; the visit takes you through the tanks, from hatchlings to near-adults ready for the ocean. A contribution is requested. Allow about fifteen minutes by taxi, with island views along the way.
At Sargeant Brothers, a short walk from the landing. Craftsmen there have spent decades building strikingly precise model sailing boats: hulls carved from local wood, rigging tied thread by thread, replicas of famous yachts shipped worldwide. This is the island’s own trade, not an imported trinket.
Very much so. Distances are short, the swimming at Princess Margaret Beach is calm, the turtle tanks hold everyone’s attention and the village is not intimidating. The only constraint is the tender ride: the bay is sheltered, but the sea is still the sea.
The East Caribbean dollar is official and US dollars are accepted everywhere, water taxis included. English is spoken, in the lilting Grenadine Creole accent.
