Bequia is only 7 miles sq, so we took our E-bikes ashore and toured the island.
We went ashore at Jack’s Beach Bar jetty, and found the road to be incredibly steep ie about 45deg, and we had to push our bikes uphill until the incline became manageable to ride.
Across on the summit of the island to the south side
View down into Friendship Bay
We stopped at Paget Farm Fishing Bay, mainly to tighten our bike brakes
Fishing boats
Fisherman’s Tavern
Bar at Derrick
Stuff and marine artifacts on display
Whale Bones - YES they still catch whales. Last one caught was about 1 month ago. When a whale is caught, which is done by old fashioned hand harpoon, the whole island comes down to the shore and every family gets their bit of whale meat.
Conch Shells, or Lambi as the locals call it
He seems to always be waiting for me .... I’m much slower on the bike than Nicholas is.
Overlooking Spring Bay
Further along on the windward side at Industry Beach at the closed and ‘For Sale’ Sugar Reef Hotel
Still having fun
Park Bay Beach. Beers ....
....and collecting coconuts
Not everyone in Bequia has a solid brick house......
Belmont Walkway from Port Elizabeth/town to Princess Margaret Beach.
There is a hill with flights of stairs over the headland to Princess Margaret Beach, so Nicholas walked to fetch our dinghy from Jack’s dock.
Jetty for easy loading the bikes onto the dinghy along the Belmont Walkway
Red Sky
Take Care
