Description
The romantic island of Bequia is a beautiful lush island with some of the friendliest people in the Caribbean. The island is a great place to make friends from all over the world, go on a day sail, go hiking, or just "lime" under a coconut tree with your favorite beverage. Sailors have known about the Grenadines for much longer than divers but divers are finding out it's a natural place to be. Bequia is generally considered south of the Hurricane belt and has been spared for many years from any serious damage.
Bequia was named the island of the clouds by the Caribs, (pronounced Bek-way) this is the largest of the St Vincent dependencies with a population of 4,874 (1991 census). 9 miles S of St Vincent and about 7 miles square, Bequia attracts quite a number of tourists, chiefly yachtsmen but also the smaller cruise ships and, increasingly, land-based tourists. Tourism is becoming much more important as more cruise ships stop and the number of yachts increases. More hotel rooms and apartments are being added. The island is quite hilly and well forested with a great variety of fruit and nut trees. Its main village is Port Elizabeth and here Admiralty Bay offers a safe anchorage.
Bequia has long been a island of yachtsmen. Isolated enough to remain unspoiled, yet lively enough to offer something special for just about everyone. It provides a splendid combination of the old and new that so many find enchanting. It brings so many back year after year.
