Bequia isn’t on most cruise ship itineraries but if you are on a small ship that’s headed that way, it’s a nice alternative to more touristy islands. Bequia is one of the Grenadines, and it’s stunning. There are crystal-clear turquoise waters, stunning white sand beaches and a relaxed, easy-going vibe that will leave you wanting to stay here forever. As you go around the island and experience its charms, here are some things you can do on your day trip to Bequia!
Have Lunch on the Beach
Eating a delicious lunch on one of several beaches on Bequia will set you back no more than US$2. It’s just one of many affordable treats on offer to visitors—along with local tours and excursions, which average out at around US$15 per person.
Take a Ride to Sandy Island
Many cruise lines stop at Sandy Island for a quick tour of one of its pristine beaches. The short trip from Bequia costs about $50 per person, but you get what you pay for: snorkeling gear and lunch is included. From your arrival to your departure, keep an eye out for sea turtles, as well as native iguanas and birds—and don’t forget to take advantage of one more waterfront dip before you leave.
Go Jet Skiing in Bequia
Jet skiing is an amazing way to explore and experience all that a tropical island has to offer. You will be able to swim, snorkel, and soak up some sun while having fun on these exciting boats. Jet skiing is a great way to travel from point A to point B around an island and check out sites along the way. It’s a nice break from hiking and allows you to get more up close with sea life.
Relax at Sunset Point
Sunset Point is a wonderful place to relax, walk and enjoy with your loved ones. When you visit Bequia make sure you take time out to visit Sunset Point at least once and absorb its beauty. It’s more than just another beach on a small island, it’s part of what makes St Vincent such a special destination. Read More …
Take a Tour of the Hotels
St. Vincent is known for its natural attractions. But your time on island will be much more fun if you know a thing or two about what’s in store for you when it comes to accommodations. Once you know where you’re staying and how many hotels are available on island, book a reservation and make plans to visit them before setting sail.

You’re on vacation, so go ahead and treat yourself. Enjoy a drink at one of Bequia’s many bars and restaurants. There are also some good nightlife options for those looking to dance or listen to music (La Valise, Le Canoo Bar). Whatever you choose, enjoy your evening out!
