Ravine & Rocky Bay, Bequia
Another of my trips off the beaten path here on the small Caribbean island of Bequia. This time though, it was not too far off with a 15 minute relatively easy walk off the road, starting at the old hotel on St Hilaire Point, walking down through the bush and scrub, to arrive at a small holding behind Ravine beach.
The beach is a small sweeping bay with a sandy beach, hemmed in on each side by rocks and hillsides, making it quite secluded, but being on the windward side of the island, is open to the prevailing winds.
The rocky headland between Ravine and Rocky Bay made the perfect lookout point, with sweeping views out across both bays, and the hillsides behind, running up to Mount Pleasant.
Rocky Bay is just that and very aptly named. A smaller bay full of rocks of all shapes and sizes, with a scramble down to the beach itself, down one of the rain gulleys. One adventurous sole is building a new home overlooking the bay up on the cliff.
It seems the hillsides around both bays are home to many goats, with their paths running through the bush, making a great way to scramble around, if you're up for imitating a goat that it.
