A Fresh Perspective on Travel Every Day
Bequia, one of the more off-the-beaten-path islands in the already remote Grenadine Islands in the Caribbean, is a world away from international resorts and artificial smiles. Here, island life continues at a leisurely pace, nestled between steep green mountains and pristine white sand bays. Pronounced ‘Beck-way’, this charming destination is waiting to be discovered.
Long the domain of savvy sailors and fly-in millionaires, the spectacular Grenadines also offer plenty for the independent traveler. You don’t need your own boat to fully explore this magnificent archipelago. Spanning the nations of St Vincent & the Grenadines and Grenada, the island chain offers a wide variety of authentic Caribbean experiences where nature is never far from the spotlight.
The sister islands of Bequia, Canouan, and Mustique have long drawn people in search of escape — from the rat race, the paparazzi, or society as a whole. A writer explores three very different enclaves that, despite recent development, remain hidden in plain sight.
