Bequia St. Vincent: Caribbean Romance on a Quiet, Colorful Island
A Hidden Gem in St. Vincent & The Grenadines for Couples Who Crave Simplicity and Soul

In a region filled with big-name islands and luxury mega-resorts, Bequia St. Vincent (pronounced “Beck-way”) offers something far more intimate and authentic. Located just 9 miles south of St. Vincent in St. Vincent & The Grenadines, this 7-square-mile island feels like a secret you’re lucky to have discovered—a place where time slows down, locals greet you by name, and the sunsets seem to last forever.

For honeymooners, Bequia is a dream: unspoiled beaches, warm hospitality, colorful villages, and pure tranquility.It’s a Caribbean escape for couples who want connection—not crowds.

💞 Why Bequia Is So Special

🏝️ No Big Hotels, No Crowds

Bequia has deliberately stayed off the tourist radar. There are no cruise ship docks, no shopping malls, and no cookie-cutter resorts—just charming inns, guesthouses, and boutique beachfront villas. The vibe is laid-back, unpretentious, and deeply personal.

🌈 A Village Full of Color and Character

The island’s main village, Port Elizabeth, is a lovely harbor town with gingerbread-trimmed buildings, pastel colors, and a peaceful walkway called the Belmont Walkway that hugs the shoreline. Couples can browse local craft shops, sip rum punches at casual cafés, or simply relax on a pier, feet dangling over the water.

💍 Romantic Things to Do in Bequia

🐠 Snorkel Together in Princess Margaret Bay

This stunning beach is just a short stroll from town, with clear, calm waters perfect for swimming and snorkeling. It’s also one of the best spots to watch the sunset—bring a blanket and wine for a private evening on the sand.

⛵ Sail the Grenadines

Take a private sailing charter to nearby islands like Mustique or Tobago Cays. Swim with sea turtles, explore uninhabited islands, or dine aboard a sailboat as the sun dips below the horizon.

🐢 Visit the Old Hegg Turtle Sanctuary

This small conservation center is run by a local legend, Brother King, and offers an intimate look at Bequia’s commitment to marine life. A charming, offbeat outing for couples who love nature and community stories.

🥂 Dine by Candlelight at Beachfront Restaurants

Bequia’s dining scene is cozy, not flashy. Many restaurants—like Jack’s Beach Bar or Laura’s at Spring—sit right on the water, serving up fresh seafood, Caribbean spices, and hand-crafted cocktails.
