Bequia is a gem in the Grenadine Islands and one of the things that make it shine is Princess Margaret Beach. Today’s Island Lime Video deposits you onto the sands of this natural beach. If it were anymore real, you’d have sand on your feet.

Activity on Bequia has always been centered around the deep water harbor and protected shores of Admiralty Bay, there are a number of other locations and communities on the island, all of which are charming in their own right, but Port Elizabeth in Admiralty Bay is the main hub of activity and the location of Princess Margaret Beach.

Just beyond the Belmont Walkway and up and over a small hill is the beautiful, secluded and as yet totally unspoiled Princess Margaret beach. Named after the British Royal Princess Margaret whom once visited Bequia and swam at this beach. The only access at present is by water or down a steep road/trail off the main road. The beach is lush with tropical plants and now buildings except for a high-end beach bar/restaurant named Jack’s.

Enough talk, here is your time to lime on Princess Margaret Beach.

Have you had the pleasure of spending time on Princess Margaret Beach? If so, I would love to hear your story.

Have a great weekend Castaways!
Cheers,

Sailing The Grenadines: The ItineraryFrangipani Beach Bar - Bequia, GrenadinesMac's Lobster Pizza Challenge, The Verdict Is InMac's Pizzeria On Bequia, Is The Hype Real?

Little over a month ago I wrote a post about Mac’s Pizza on Bequia, how I kept reading all these stunning reviews and something about a legendary lobster pizza. I asked those of you who had been to Mac’s if all this Hype was worth it. Everyone I heard from confirmed the praise. Well like any good journalist, I needed to do a little first hand research. So when our ship, the Diamant, dropped anchor in Admiralty Harbour off Bequia, you can be sure that Mac’s was on my “research” list.

DINNER TIME!

After a day of touring Bequia our group had worked up quite an appetite. I had seeded everyone’s mind with stories of the famous lobster pizza, so when it came time to hop in the dinghy and head to shore for dinner our destination was not in question.

The Diamant group ready for some lobster pizza

Our dining group included the 4 bama babes, Crystal, Sandy, myself and we were able to talk Aubrey and Troy of the Diamant crew into joining us. We climbed the stairs to reach Mac’s open air dining room, sat at the table reserved for the Diamant group and quickly order up a round cold Caribs.

We tell our lovely waitress that we’ve heard stories about the legendary lobster pizza and that we had to see if all the hype was for real. She gave us an all knowing smile and headed back to the kitchen to relay our order. I was able to sneak back to the kitchen and snap a few shots of the pizzas being prepared. There’s no skimping on lobster for on these bad boys. These pies are completely loaded up with the delicious crustacean!

Loading up the Lobster!

THE VERDICT

The pizzas arrived and the group was giddy with excitement. I remember hearing groans of satisfaction from around the table after people sunk their teeth into the slices. I can’t speak for everyone in our group but I thought the lobster pizza was fantastic and totally lived up to the hype. I wish I was sitting at a Mac’s table right now, throwing back a few Caribs and devouring some of that famous pie with my fellow Diamant passengers.

Just look at those chunks of juciy lobster!

I’d like to thank Judy, the owner of Mac’s, for my personal pizza. I’m sorry we weren’t able to meet Judy, I guess I’ll just have to make a return trip to Bequia! Who’s with me?

Mac's Pizzeria On Bequia, Is The Hype Real?Chillax On Princess Margaret Beach On Bequia - Island Lime VideosSailing The Grenadines: The ItineraryCarriacou Webcam - Paradise in the Grenadines

These are some of the things I’ve heard from people when I told them about my approaching trip to the Grenadines. We will be sailing to Bequia on the Diamant in a couple weeks and I believe Mac’s Pizzeria is on the schedule. My question to you is, is Mac’s worth the hype?

I’ve had some good pizza in my life, the best being a pie bought from a place on Duval Street in Key West a few years ago. I remember shoveling that pizza into my face late one night and nearly having a mouthgasm. I’m serious, this pizza was beyond good. Will Mac’s lobster pizza produce the same reaction? The jury is waiting. I’ve seen photos of this legendary pizza and it may have a chance to claim the title. I’ve never had such a pizza, the sweet combination of succulent lobster and traditional pizza flavors could easily induce the aforementioned mouthgasm.

Set along the Belmont Walkway, Mac’s has been serving up their legendary food for over 3 decades. I’ve already contacted Judy at Mac’s and let her know of the impending visit just to make sure they were ready for the pizza showdown. Ready they are.

If you’ve been to Mac’s Pizzeria on Bequia let me know what you thought! Look for my review in about a month.

Listed as one of the top 100 bars in the world, the Frangipani’s waterfront open air bar is one of the Caribbean’s famous watering holes. With an extensive cocktail menu, warm atmosphere and friendly bartenders, the “Frangi” bar maintains its reputation as the meeting place for locals and visitors alike. Try their famous Frangi Fever, Mango Potion or Passion Colada while seated under the palms, watching the sun set on the horizon as the gentle breezes blow. You can also cozy up to the beautiful purple- heart wooden bar and meet a fellow Bequia lover that crossed oceans just to come here.

For more than 40 years old now, the low-key Frangipani Bar continues to make waves by serving up creative, affordable cocktails. People say this is a tough beach bar to leave. I say any beach bar is a tough one to leave.  Maybe it’s the comfy, cushion-topped bar stools, the friendly service, or the bar itself, which is made with a gorgeous local hardwood called purpleheart.

Every Thursday night is the Frangi Barbecue and Jump Up. They feature live music from the Elite Steel Orchestra that will have you shaking your sunburned body all across the dance floor.

Dance the Night away at the Frangipani Beach Bar

For whatever reason you got washed up on the shores of Bequia, you are sure to find contentment at the Frangipani Beach Bar. Hang out with best friends you just met that day as you sip on a Frangi Fever and while away the hours as you relax and unwind.

Chillax On Princess Margaret Beach On Bequia - Island Lime VideosSailing The Grenadines: The ItineraryMac's Lobster Pizza Challenge, The Verdict Is InSay Yes To Sailing the Grenadines aboard a Tall Ship

Bequia is one of the islands of St Vincent and the Grenadines, which is an independent country, west of Barbados and south of St Lucia. It is the northernmost of the Grenadines, a chain of islands stretching from St Vincent on the north to Grenada on the south.

It is a small island of five miles long and half a mile wide in size and the population of about 6,000. The population is mainly of African origin with some European and British ethnic groups.

The island is heaven for those seeking peace and quiet away from the rush of the big cities and the stress of their professions. Here life is relaxed and moves to a slow pace. You can walk the island by foot or hire one of the taxis with their friendly drivers that will satisfy any of your requests, always with a smile. The exotic beaches have attracted the Rich and Famous for many years.

Over the years the island has been in dispute between the French and the English, but for many years it was ruled by Great Britain. English is the official language, although the local dialect is sometime hard to understand the first time, until you get used to it.

Being so secluded makes it a little difficult to get there. There are many ways to reach Bequia.

By ferry: It’s a short ride of about nine miles from the big island of St Vincent. The ferry will depart from the capital Kingstown.

By air: There are direct flights from Barbados that arrive to J.F. Mitchell airport.

Many tourists coming from all over the world arrive to the bigger Caribbean Islands like Puerto Rico, Martinique or Barbados Island and find their way through St Vincent to Bequia.

Bequia is a dream for many tourists coming from northern countries. The island is fully surrounded by white sand beaches, not crowded at all, with green hillsides and attractive villages.

There are many hotels and guest houses and here you can either mingle with other people or find total solitude.

Either you want total relaxation or you want to enjoy the most beautiful waters in the world for all kind of water sports like snorkeling, diving or sailing.

If you want to see some luxury yachts, go to the natural Harbour of Admiralty Bay. Some of the world’s most beautiful yachts anchor there.

If you stay at a luxury villa or in any of the resorts, or in a more modest hotel or guest house, your tropical vacations in Bequia in St Vincent and the Grenadines will be a guaranteed success. It will be a difficult task to pack and leave.
