After Chatham Bay on Union Island, it was time for us to head to Bequia. We had heard a lot of great things about Bequia and were looking forward to exploring the island. We ended up anchoring off of Princess Margaret Beach in Admiralty Bay, and it turned out to be a lovely anchorage.

Bequia has a main town at the head of Admiralty Bay which is lined with restaurants, food stands, and souvenir stalls/shops. There were a couple of grocery stores as well as other yacht services such as chandleries (boat supply stores), propane refill services, garbage disposal, etc. Boats also drive around the bay asking if yachters need services like laundry (free pick up and delivery), water, diesel, banana bread, and lobsters. This town was set up to welcome yachters and made the anchorage quite pleasant.

The water where we anchored in Admiralty Bay was fairly calm and clear. And, the water along the shore was even calmer and clearer. One day I took the stand up paddleboard to Princess Margaret Beach and simply luxuriated in the calming water.

There was also some good snorkeling on the side of Princess Margaret Beach. I believe Steve posted a video from that adventure.
