Mayreau

Lobby

Mayreau is part of St. Vincent and the Grenadines, and lies in the middle of the Grenadines, close to the famous Tobago Cays. It is a one-road, two car island, rimmed with pristine beaches and affording spectacular views from up on the hill. The few hundred islanders who call this home are happy to see you and it is well worth exploring on foot. Visit both the village and the windward beaches.

Two beautiful anchorages will satisfy those cruising the islands. Salt Whistle Bay has a sweeping half moon beach, and the Salt Whistle Bay Club is tucked away behind it. The resort is so well hidden in the trees that people who sail in the bay often question whether it is really there.

Saline Bay has another long and lovely beach. Unfortunately a large electric-generating plant is on the slope overlooking the bay. It has bright lights that shine over the bay at night, but thankfully you really do not hear it from the anchorage.

From Saline Bay it is just a short walk up hill to the village and the handful of restaurants that depend on visiting yachts for their existence.
