Mayreau Island Information
Information gathered from http://www.doyleguides.com/mayreau.htm
Mayreau is part of St. Vincent and the Grenadines, and lies
in the middle of the Grenadines, close to the famous Tobago
Cays. It is a one-road, two car island, rimmed with pristine
beaches and affording spectacular views from up on the hill. The
few hundred islanders who call this home are happy to see you
and it is well worth exploring on foot. Visit both the village
and the windward beaches.
Two beautiful anchorages will satisfy those cruising the
islands. Salt
Whistle Bay has a sweeping half moon beach, and the Salt Whistle
Bay Club is tucked away behind it. The resort is so well hidden
in the trees that people
who sail in the bay often question whether it is really there.
Saline Bay has another long and lovely beach. Unfortunately a
large
electric-generating plant is on the slope overlooking the bay.
It has bright
lights that shine over the bay at night, but thankfully you
really do not
hear it from the anchorage.
From Saline Bay it is just a short walk up hill to the village
and the
handful of restaurants that depend on visiting yachts for their
existence.
