Grenadines beaches
Lapped by crystal-clear waters, Casuarina Beach runs the length of the western side of Palm Island – it’s one of the finest beaches in the Grenadines. Bequia’s capital, the sleepy harbour town of Port Elizabeth, is at the heart of Admiralty Bay on the west coast of the island. This natural harbour is a popular mooring site for yachts and nearby Princess Margaret Beach is a glorious sweep of white sand. The sugar-white sands of Friendship Bay on the south-east coast of Bequia have sheltered waters, ideal for watersports.

Activities
The Grenadines are great for diving thanks to its shallow-water reefs and abundant marine life which can be seen at depths of only 25 feet. Canouan is Carib for the ‘Island of Turtles’ and this tiny gem of an island features beaches, a barrier reef and an 18-hole championship golf course. The talcum-powder sands and turquoise waters of the spectacular Tobago Cays epitomise the Caribbean dream of deserted islands. This archipelago of uninhabited islands is home to a national marine park where you can explore stunning coral reefs and sea turtle nesting sites. It’s easy to explore these compact islands by foot and a hike through the countryside and along the coastline will reward you with breathtaking views.
