Bequia is still the yachting Mekka in the Grenadines. It is still possible, though expensive, to have a boat built there. Don't miss the anchorage on Petit Nevis. Visit the "moonhole" cave houses built there in the 60s by rich hippies. For a visit, contact Jim or Sheena Johnson (784)458-3068 or www.begos.com/bequiamoonhole.

If you have children, a visit to the Orton King turtle farm in Union Vale is worthwhile. By taxi.

The lovely beaches, lots of restaurants and good shipyards make Bequia a good place to stop. By the way, pronounce "Bekway".
