The way to see Salt Whistle Bay is to anchor there for a few hours and really enjoy the beauty of the water and the pure white sandy beach. There may be a lot of yachts anchred there as it is very popular with people of the Lower Caribbean More

Great beach but clogged with sailboats and unfriendly vendors. The hotel needs updating but they have the best rum punch bar none. More

This is such a beautifu beach. After climbing the hill in Mayreau (to the church to see the Tabago Cays) we jumped in the bay for a swim. The water was perfect. There are many vendors selling all sorts of clothing within walking distance of the beach. The nice thing is the vendors did not come down to the beach... More

This anchorage was a lovely stop offering a beautiful vista over palms and a fabulous beach area. The walk up the hill to town and over the other side was well worth it as the beach there was even more incredible and completely deserted! The small community is filled with a positive energy and welcoming locals (the whole island is... More

Excellent anchorage in most conditions, keep far fromt he reef. It's a beautiful setting, with a nice beach on the leeward side, the windward side is a bit more rough, so be cautious. Try and ignore the boat vendors, with the exception of Black Boy. He has a beach BBQ most of the year round. He deals with a lot... More

We stayed 4 nights on Mayreau and could walk to this beach from Dennis' Hideaway. It was awesome. Lots of shady palms to lay under and just relax and swim all day. A couple of small gift vendors and beach bar it was perfect. Wanted to ask if the cottages were for rent and heard some stories through the coconut... More

The beach & water are fabulous. The selection of shirts and goods there is excelent, both the locals' and at the hotel gift shop. At... More
