BEQUIA WHISPERS

There are plenty of beaches to choose from, each with its own characteristics. In general those on the Caribbean (Western) side are calmer, with clearer waters. Those on the Atlantic (Eastern) side have slightly rougher seas, and typically fewer people on the beach... If you want small, friendly, family-owned restaurants, you're in luck. Choose from Caribbean-style, Mexican, French and Italian. But if you want McDonalds, KFC, Pizza Express or Starbucks: sorry, but Bequia's not for you... No golf courses, I'm afraid. But plenty of other things to do, including diving, snorkelling, yacht charters, day trips to Mustique and Tobago Cays, visiting the Whaling Museum, Moonhole and the Turtle Sanctuary, or just chilling out and relaxing: "liming"as the locals say.
