Friendship Bay beach

Friendship Bay is a beach located in a protected bay in the south of Bequia island, Grenadines. It could be the best beach of the island, but unfortunately this is the Atlantic coast. The water is often choppy, and there are also algae in the hurricane season (from June to October). However, the swimming is comfortable anyway. There are just a few tourists, while you'll have a lot of space for walking. As for the coastal vegetation, it's superb in all respects! Shore and seabed: sand. [edit]

Hotels [edit]

Bequia Beachfront Villas is a great four-star property located on the west end of the bay (room from US$100 per night). There are also few more accommodation options located a little further away from the beach. But unfortunately these are even more expensive.

How to get there [edit]

Fly to Saint Vincent international airport (SVD). Next fly to Bequia island airport (BQU).

There is also ferry services between the islands of Saint Vincent (Kingstown port) and Bequia (Port Elizabeth). It takes 30-50 minutes per way. No need to purchase tickets in advance:

- Bequia Express, US$10 per person, discounted fares for children;

- Admiral Ferries / Admiralty Transport, fares are the same as Bequia Express, but they offer a larger and more comfortable ship called Admiral II.

When to go [edit]

The best time for a beach holiday in Friendship Bay is a dry season from December to May.
