Mon Jun 10 16:05:54 -0700 2002 0 Boyd 1 2182172 We sailed last year with our children so couldn't soak up the local cuisine (since it's not chicken nuggets and pizza). Bequia had a good amount of restaurants. What I will recommend is stay away from Basils on Mustique, overrated and over priced. We got the feeling that boaters were not treated the same as the island vacationers. If you're going in the summer it will be off season and your selection will be less. We're going back end of May and will have a better report for you since it will be three couples without kids.

We dined in fancy resorts and didn't have a chance to try to local cuisines. I did love Mac's Pizza in Bequia.

Oh yummy yummy!!!!

Maybe the most memorable meal was grilling lobsters on the stern while anchored at Tobago Cays. Recommend drinks at Salt Whistle Bay. Basil's is ok for a drink but try the Firefly for decent food on Mustique. The tiny bar/restaurant at Wallilabou is a major hoot if rustic is your thing.

The water clarity all around the Tobago Cays is incredible...I had lunch at Palm..that island is incredible.
