The town is a short strip along the waterfront, so there is little to walk to. The tourist information booth is on the jetty, and taxis wait there."],["Watch-outs","Tender landings are wet and can be busy, so keep your bag light and your hands free. Water taxis carry passengers from the jetty to the nearby beaches, at a fare of around $6 each way. Agree the fare and the return time before you board. The island's shops and restaurants are small and can close earlier than expected."],["Port Elizabeth","The waterfront is lined with bars, restaurants and craft shops facing the bay. It is a relaxed place to spend an hour or two. Local boatbuilders are a feature of the island, and the sailing heritage is visible along the shore."],["Beaches and coves","Bequia is ringed with gold-sand beaches and coves. They suit snorkelling, sailing and diving. Water taxis are the simplest way to reach the beaches, and a taxi tour can take in several in an afternoon. Bring water, as there is little shade on the sand."],["Food & shopping","Local food includes fresh fish, roti and rum punch. Small bars and restaurants along the waterfront are the easiest choice. Duty-free shopping is limited, so look for local crafts and spices."],["Money & connectivity","The currency is the East Caribbean dollar. US dollars are widely accepted. Cards are accepted in larger places, but cash is needed for water taxis and small shops."]],"access":"The tender landing and the jetty can be hard to reach for anyone with limited mobility, as the boat step and the jetty steps are uneven. Water taxis have a low step, but getting on and off can still be difficult. Ask the ship about tender assistance, and check with your tour operator before booking a beach trip.","links":[{"label":"Bequia on Wikivoyage","url":"https://en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Bequia","detail":"Island, beaches and getting around"},{"label":"Convert US dollars to East Caribbean dollars","url":"https://www.xe.com/currencyconverter/?Amount=1&From=USD&To=XCD","detail":"Daily reference rates"}],"maps":[{"label":"Bequia printable map","url":"https://www.bequia.net/images/beqmap.gif","detail":"One-page island map"},{"label":"Admiralty Bay on Google Maps","url":"https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=Admiralty+Bay+Bequia","detail":"Tender anchorage"}]}}}
