Eating Out
Welcome Summer Visitors!If you are here for the first time, we wish you a warm welcome to one of the most beautiful and friendly islands in the whole
Caribbean. And if you are returning for more of Bequia’s famous charm and laid back hospitality - we’re so glad to have you back!This publication will help you get the most out of your stay here, however short. Although some businesses close at this time
of year for essential maintenance and hard-earned annual staff vacations, Bequia still has so much to offer – delightful restaurants and boutiques, great yacht provisioning, excellent marine supplies, beautiful uncrowded beaches, friendly bars, island tours through lush, summer-fresh scenery, boat day trips, and much more…
The air-conditioned Bequia Tourism Association office at the end of the main jetty is open all through September and October (Mon to Fri 8.30am - 5.30pm, Sats 9am - 2pm and Suns / Public Holidays 9am - 11.30am). Tourism Representatives Julene McIntosh and Vernamay Ollivierre are there to help you with advice on what to do, where to stay, ferry times, taxi rates and much more, so do take time to stop by for a visit. Phone cards, postcards, stamps, and ice-cold bottled water are all on sale there, along with stylish Bequia Sailing Club Polo Shirts and Caps, 2010 souvenir Bequia Regatta T-Shirts at bargain prices, Courtesy Flags and other souvenir items.
You can also pick up a FREE copy of two great publications – “Holiday Bequia” and “Ins & Outs of St. Vincent & the Grenadines”. Both are packed full of useful and interesting information about the island and the country.
Bequia’s two banks, RBTT (opposite the Tourism Office) and NCB (off Back Street) are equipped with 24-hour ATM machines which will accept most credit cards. If you are on a yacht, our friendly Customs and Immigration officers in the Revenue Office will answer any questions you might have. There are a number of internet access outlets in and around Port Elizabeth, so you should have no trouble checking and sending your email and getting the latest weather updates.
So relax, unwind – and enjoy your stay!
