BEQUIA has an old world charm of its own, with none of the hustle of other tourist resorts in the Caribbean. Its quiet life goes on at much the same tempo as it did a hundred years ago, and with its delightful walks, fishing and sailing you will find it hard to beat.

For those who like underwater fishing or collecting shells, the wide range of beaches, the clear water, and the coral gardens will be a constant source of joy.

Whale fishing is still carried on in small sail boats, and the chief industry of the island is the building of the interisland schooners.

There is a radio telephone connecting Bequia with St. Vincent and a shuttle plane service run by the St. Vincent Government Airlines that connects with the main airlines in Trinidad and Barbados. BEQUIA is an optional stop on all these runs. You are put down in front of the Hotel, and the Hotel, and the Hotel Boat goes out to meet you. These planes are busy, so it is advisable to book well in advance.
