Fort Duvernette

Built around 1800 on a tiny island next to Young Island, this fort once protected a chief port of St. Vincent.

Marvel at the ingenuity of the engineers that lifted the cannons into place on top of this amazing fort. Look down on crystal clear waters and over to the main land. Take a light picnic to the top - seating area available but no other amenities. You need a boat taxi to take you to the base of the steps, booked from the main land.

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.

The perfect finish to an island tour, with superb views back over Kingstown and the surrounding area, as well as our cruise ship. The fort has been pretty well maintained, and is free to enter.

Wallilabou

This small village sits next to a gorgeous bay.

Reviewed By clifton64 - London, United Kingdom

The drive to wallilabou takes approximately 1hour 20 minutes from Kingstown cruise ship terminal. The scenery in St Vincent is quite spectacular and was a extremely pleasant surprise! Our driver was very knowledgeable about the island and took time to stop at intervals so we could take pictures of the breathtaking scenery.on arrival at wallilabou you enter a green gate leading down to a narrow lane and less than a minute you are looking at some buildings which were adapted for the movie,let's say in a poor state and in need of restorations. Within the main building contained props for the movie and several stills of the main characters....Johnny depp and co stars,there are also unused footage or takes in reels on the floor which I believe should be put into a glass cabinet or something similar, There is a lovely bay and a small beach which is great for photos. Also there is a bar/ restaurant with wifi and the local beer I can recommend! Overall I would recommend if you're in st Vincent do visit wallilabou and take in the sites you will not be disappointed !

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.
