We have spent 4 great days in Bequia relaxing and enjoying the town and the lovely  beaches. We anchored outside Princess Margaret beach in those crystal clear waters and have gone for a few walks in the hills around town.

There are a lot of nice beaches one being Princess Margarets beach where we are.  There are a lot of yachts in the anchorage while everyone waits for the winds to settle so they can travel on. Some of the locals get around the bay in all sorts of wooden boats with a sail and are very skilled getting about.

We went for a walk over the hill to Friendship Bay on the South side of Bequia, where the sands are a nice white and the waves were pounding the shore. On our walk over we couldn’t believe the size of some of the houses. Appears that a lot our rental homes in this bay. We stopped at the Bequia Hotel set amongst the Palm trees right on the beach. Nice location.

We kayaked down to Lower Bay on Sunday, a really popular beach in the afternoon for locals  and yachties. We lazed on the beach until a squall came through and drenched us and everyone disappeared. Eeeek why did we kayak? The winds and rain seem to arrive in the afternoons at the moment.

We both really like Bequia and we’ll be back. Heading to Canouan, only a few hours south.
