We love sailing the area from Bequia to Carriacou. Friends had a lovely FP there - they are circumnavigating now and somewhere nearing Tahiti. Bequia is so charming (we’ve also stayed at the Bequia Plantation - excellent hotel). Caribbeangirl is right - that lobster pizza at Mac’s is fabulous as is the diving by Moonhole. Tobago Cays and Salt Whistle Bay are stunning. I could happily stay in this area for a long period of time just diving, snorkeling, wandering beaches and eating lobster. Heaven. I follow some of the Eastern Caribbean Cruisers forums on Facebook - seems to be quite a bit of crime and boat theft around St. Vincent.
