The Island of Mayreau

Description

Mayreau Island

Imagine an enclave of pristine, post-card worthy beaches, with fine white sands and sparkling clear blue waters that beckon you to take a dip. Imagine lush greens, teeming vegetation and nature preserved, the way it should be. That is what Mayreau Island can offer you.

This is an island to treasure... Mayreau is a tiny inhabited island with no airstrip so it is a special treat to stay or visit here. Mayreau is the smallest (1 ½ square miles) of the inhabited Grenadine islands and has just over 250 residents.

Mayreau is nestled among the islands of Caribbean luxury legend: Mustique and Canouan islands to the north, Palm Island and Petit St. Vincent to the south. The matchless waters of Tobago Cays Marine Park are directly opposite.

The beaches in Mayreau were voted among the Top Ten Beaches in the Caribbean. The island has superb views out over the Tobago Cays and on a clear day right on down to Grenada. Mayreau is the highlight for yachts sailing the Grenadines. The Salt Whistle Bay on Mayreau is established as the anchorage of choice in the region for yachts from around the world and is a must on any yacht charter cruise in the Grenadines.

The village that is home to the island’s population – mostly fishermen – sits atop a hill in the southwest. It has a few restaurants to explore, local bars of considerable charm and a small and wonderful stone church, a place of peace and miraculous views.

With no airstrip Mayreau is only accessible by boat. However Union Island airport is only a few miles away. Picture-postcard beaches and bays, a friendly village with a quaint old church and divine beaches.

More about the island

There is a quaint and friendly village that is usually referred to as “Old Wall” that can be found in the elevated area of Mayreau. In it is a most beautiful, Old Catholic church made of stone, which was inspired by the Roman Catholic religion of the island’s French settlers. On the coastline are three bays with a large expanse of pristine, white beaches. Saline bay contains a jetty, which is used by the ferry between Union Island and St. Vincent. Salt Whistle Bay on the other hand is established as the anchorage for docking yachts. This bay has exceptionally white sandy beaches and crystal blue waters, perfect for lounging about and swimming in. The northernmost beach is called Windward Careenage. Windward Bay and Upper Bay are on the south point of Tamarind Hill. It’s at 280 feet, making it the island’s highest location. There is also a big pond to the south of Mayreau Island between Windward Bay and Saline Bay, which was used for producing commercial salt.

One of the several famous dive and snorkeling sites is called Mayreau Gardens and can be found just a little off Mayreau Island’s east coast. It is made up of stunning coral reef formations situated in the middle of nearby Tobago Cays and the island. Mayreau is an exceptionally small island and the best way to explore it is on foot. If you are not up to trekking, there are water taxis that you can hire. They can take you to nearby Tobago Cays or to other destinations within the island. There is only one road that connects Saline Bay to Salt Whistle Bay. If you choose to walk along it, it will take about an hour, with a small climb up to the village. There are also about two trails from this road that take you to the dry coastal forests of acacia, sage and cacti. Keep your eyes wide open and perhaps you can even spot an iguana or a tortoise here in Mayreau Island.
