It is a spectacular half-moon shaped bay with palms swaying in the trades and white sand beaches on the Caribbean and Atlantic side of it. The waters were clear and wonderful to swim in…and it did not take long before we explore the beaches and even the hill from where we had a spectacular view of the Tobago Cays.


Beaches were more peaceful and as was our walk up the hill, through Mayreau’s little village of 250 people and then down to Salines Bay. The houses of the village suggest that Mayreau is not affluent.


However, we liked the peacefulness of Salines Bay and the view of Union Island, our next destination...

Quelle belle vue de l'Ile Union, la derniere de la chaine des Grenadines appartenant a St-Vincent. On nous avait dir que l'ile de St-Vincent etait plutot pauvre car personne ne s'y arretait, et cela au profit des Iles Grenadines, plus populaires chez les gens de croisiere. Nous avons donc ete surpris de voir que les villages des Grenadines - a part Bequia -etaient plutot pauvres et desoles...les iles n'ont pas d'eau potable, recoivent tres tres peu de pluie ce qui rend l'agriculture difficile et il y a les drogues...Mais les paysages sont magnifiques!
