Frequently Asked Questions

It anchors in Saline Bay and tenders land passengers at a small jetty. Mayreau is the smallest inhabited island in the Grenadines: one and a half square kilometres, about 270 residents, a single concrete road and no airport.
Yes, and that is the normal way to visit. The single concrete road climbs from the landing to the village in about fifteen minutes, then drops down the other side to Salt Whistle Bay, 25 to 30 minutes in all. Water taxis can be negotiated at the jetty if you would rather skip the hill.
Yes, without hesitation. It is one of the most photographed coves in the Caribbean: a strip of sand about thirty metres wide separates the sheltered leeward bay from the Atlantic rollers on the windward side. A few paces take you from flat water to a lively sea. Leaning coconut palms, a few huts grilling fish, kitesurfers offshore.
No. Saline Bay beach runs right along the anchorage: long, clear and rarely busy, it is ready for a swim the moment you step off the tender. Snorkellers follow the rocky points at either end, where trumpetfish and schools of baitfish pass through.
The whole southern Grenadines. From the forecourt of the Catholic church of the Immaculate Conception, blessed in 1930 and set at the top of the village, the view takes in the Tobago Cays, Union, Palm Island and Petit Saint Vincent, scattered green marks on blue. The climb from the landing takes about fifteen minutes between painted houses and bougainvillea.
Walk up to the village, stop at the church for the view, drop down to Salt Whistle Bay, swim on both sides of the sand strip, eat grilled fish at a hut, then walk back the same way. There is nothing else to do, and that is exactly what most passengers remember.
No. No museum, no duty-free shopping, no large motorised excursion. Many islanders in fact work on the excursion boats serving the nearby Tobago Cays. Anyone looking to shop will be disappointed; anyone looking for a day with no schedule will not.
Yes, provided you accept the walking and the heat. The climb to the village is short but steep and shadeless in places; Saline Bay beach, by contrast, is steps from the tender. On the Atlantic side of Salt Whistle Bay the sea is lively and needs close watching with young children.
Traces, behind the beach. These pans gave the bay its name and once supported the island’s modest trade. Today islanders live mainly from the excursion boats, a garden, a beach kitchen or trolling for fish.
The East Caribbean dollar is official and US dollars are accepted, including by water taxis and beach huts. English is spoken. Bring small bills: the island has no real banking infrastructure.
