Bequia:

Bequia is a small (7 sq miles) island situated to the south of St Vincent in the Grenadines and north of Mustique. It is a volcanic island and used to have plantations. The beautiful beaches are a feature of the island on both the leeward and windward sides. Port Elizabeth is its capital and the main industry here is around the yachting world. We flew into St Vincent on Liat Airways and then got the ferry across to Bequia
