Bequia is the most independent-spirited island in the Grenadines — the largest after St Vincent itself, with the deepwater Admiralty Bay anchorage as the social centre of the southern Caribbean sailing circuit. The Bequia Beach Hotel on Friendship Bay is the island's primary luxury property.

For the Admiralty Bay anchorage. The defining social space of Bequia — the water taxi connections between yachts and shore, the beach restaurants of Princess Margaret Beach and Lower Bay. Natural swim shorts and a white PP linen shirt throughout the bay context; leather deck shoes on the water taxis.

For Princess Margaret Beach and Lower Bay. The two primary swimming beaches on the Admiralty Bay side. White PP linen over natural swim shorts, leather sandals. The beach restaurants under the sea grape trees: more fully buttoned for the table.

For the Bequia Beach Hotel. The hotel on the Atlantic side of the island at Friendship Bay. White PP linen for the hotel beach; navy for the hotel restaurant evening.

For the Bequia town. The Main Street chandleries, bakeries, and small restaurants. A PP linen shirt in white or a warm natural with linen shorts and leather sandals for the shore walk.
