5 Sights & Landmarks in Bequia That You Shouldn't Miss
Saint Vincent and the Grenadines is a country of 32 beautiful Caribbean islands in the idyllic Caribbean, stretching south from Saint Vincent Island to Grenada. Proud of its French and British colonial history, it is now part of the Commonwealth of Nations and CARICOM. Bequia, pronounced "Beck-way”, is blessed with white sandy beaches, coral reefs, and friendly people. Port Elizabeth is a bustling yachting town. Enjoy yachting, scuba diving and snorkeling over coral reefs. Restaurants on Bequia tend to be small, friendly local enterprises. Try “goat water” soup, Bitter Lemon a popular soda and Hairoun the local brew. The island of St. Vincent, originally named Hairouna by the native Caribs, is relatively small, and its mountainous landscape makes getting around a challenge. Its capital is Kingstown and also its main port. Follow the Vermont Nature Trail and experience the spectacle of more than 500 parrots in flight. Numerous endemic species make this trail their home. Take a stroll along a scenic coastal path and take pleasure in the numerous waterfalls or hike to Fort Charlotte and be amazed by the views. Challenge yourself by a climbing the Soufriere volcano.

Very picturesque town. The Belmont walkway takes you right along the harbor edge, with cute little restaurants on one side and the harbor filled with all types of amazing boats on the other.You can follow it up and around the cliff to Princess Margaret Beach...stunning views.

We really enjoyed the plantation tour with Ezra and the delicious mango juice. We were lucky to arrive just after a big group was completing their tour, so it was just the two of us with Ezra which made for a very pleasant visit. We didn’t get the chance to come back for a meal, but we’d love to next time we visit Bequia. The environment is relaxed, quiet and beautiful. You just want to sit on a chair and keep absorbing the lush landscape and the beautiful building.

A local fisherman, Orton (Brother) King, constructed this sanctuary in an effort to preserve the hawksbill turtle.

This is a really unique little sanctuary and it's well worth the effort to get there. The owner is a great guy who will tell you all about the turtles and what he is doing to help with their conservation. You just won't get this experience in other places. First class.

Nice walk about 1 mile from the port. Got to see many little shops and model boat museum along the way. Nice views at the top.
