I would warmly recommend this beach if you want the caribbean cliche! There is just one hotel here were you could eat, but the concentrate on their guests so you might not be able to get a tabl, even for lunch. I would have brought some food with me if I was staying for a longer period. The water i... More

This was a nice quiet bay. We were there just entering the off season so it was very peaceful. Good swimming. Great to walk along the sandy beach. We caught a big tuna just outside the bay, so ate on the sailboat. The Bequia beach resort was great for a snack and drink on the beach. Nice and quiet. Peaceful... More

Not as calm as other sections of the coast. Opposite the whaling station so not the most scenic outlook. Worth one visit to look and maybe have coffee at the hotel based there but not as good as Lowere Bay or Princess Margaret More

We walked down to this beach from out hotel. Plenty of palm trees to give you shade while you relax on your lounger. Swimming is excellent. This beach gets more waves that Princess Margaret. More

Nicest beach on the island. Buy a beer from the lady under the palm tree and enjoy the peace. More

If you don't own a yacht, but dream of having one, spend a day here and you will spoil for choice as the whole bay is full of sailing boats, catamarans, luxury cruisers and lots of more modest dinghies!!!! More

Friendship bay is home to the wonderful and upmarket Bequia Beach Hotel, which is situated on one of the best beaches in Bequia. There are great views and the noise of the waves here will stay with me for a very long time - great swimming in the sea and good local walking. More

We love Friendship Bay for chilling out and sunbathing or walking our dogs. It is pretty much always deserted so you can ensure as much space as you like! The Bequia Beach Hotel and bar is situated right on the waters edge so you can pop in for an expensive beer or two if you forget to bring your own... More
