Panorama Across Bequia, St Vincent & the Grenadines
High up on one of the hills overlooking the bay, I was being shown a brand new house that's being built.
Due to the lack of flat ground here, many of the house are built directly on hills-sides and the access is normally a road going straight up the hillside. These roads can be very steep and sometimes whilst the house is being built at the top, there is little or no turning circle, so sometimes you have to reverse back down too!
The house is up to its second level and will be stunning when complete, but what caught my eye was the fantastic view from the site.
It shows the entire bay of Bequia, from the ferry port on the left hands side, around the Belmont Walkway, a small 'boardwalk' along the bay side, then into Princess Margaret Beach (also called Tony Gibbons beach) and onto Lower Bay beach, before running into the tree covered hillside of the island which runs all the way out to the right hand side, which is in fact the Western-most point of Bequia, West Cay.
The bay is full of the yachts which come and go on almost a daily basis, along with some of the smaller cruise ships, ferries and other boats and craft. Its a busy harbour.
At night, the scene changes again, but that's another shot to come.
