Overview
Mayreau, the smallest inhabited island in the Grenadines, offers a truly unspoiled and tranquil Caribbean experience. With no paved roads and only one main village, Old Wall, it embodies laid-back island life. The island's topography rises to Station Hill, providing breathtaking panoramic views of the Tobago Cays, Canouan, Union Island, and even Mustique on a clear day. Mayreau is renowned for its pristine white-sand beaches, crystal-clear turquoise waters, and vibrant coral reefs, making it a paradise for snorkelers, divers, and those simply seeking relaxation.
Visitors to Mayreau are welcomed by a warm and friendly local community, whose livelihood is closely tied to the sea. The island's charm lies in its untouched natural beauty, its peaceful atmosphere, and the genuine hospitality of its residents. A visit here promises an escape to an authentic slice of Caribbean heaven, where the rhythm of life is slow, and the beauty of nature is paramount.
Head to Saltwhistle Bay, one of Mayreau's most iconic and beautiful beaches. Its crescent-shaped white sands and calm, shallow turquoise waters are perfect for relaxing, swimming, and enjoying the serene Caribbean atmosphere. Palm trees line the shore, providing natural shade.
Tip: Saltwhistle Bay can be a popular anchorage for yachts. Arrive early if possible for a quieter experience, or embrace the convivial atmosphere.
The waters surrounding Mayreau are part of a vibrant marine ecosystem, offering excellent snorkeling and diving opportunities. Explore colorful coral reefs teeming with diverse fish, rays, and even sea turtles, especially in protected areas near the shore.
Tip: Many local operators or your cruise ship will offer snorkel gear rentals or guided dive excursions. Inquire about the best spots for marine life viewing.
Walk up to the Stone Church (Catholic Church of the Immaculate Conception), located at the highest point of Station Hill in Old Wall village. From here, you are treated to magnificent panoramic views of the surrounding Grenadine islands and the stunning Tobago Cays.
Tip: The walk up to the church is steep but rewarding. Wear comfortable shoes and bring water. The views are truly postcard-worthy.
Wander through Old Wall, Mayreau's only village. Experience the authentic local charm, see small, colorful houses, and perhaps interact with the friendly islanders. You'll find a few small shops and local eateries offering a taste of island life.
Tip: Support the local economy by purchasing a souvenir or enjoying a drink at a local bar, engaging respectfully with residents.
Another beautiful beach to explore is Saline Bay, known for its calm waters and the nearby salt pond, which gives the bay its name. It's often a quieter alternative to Saltwhistle Bay and offers a peaceful setting for swimming or simply enjoying the scenery.
Tip: The beach is a short walk from Old Wall, making it easily accessible. It's a great spot for a relaxed picnic if you pack some snacks from the ship.
Indulge in the local Mayreau cuisine, which heavily features freshly caught seafood. Look for small beach bars or local restaurants offering grilled fish, conch, or lobster (seasonal) – prepared with authentic Caribbean flavors.
Tip: Ask locals for recommendations on where to find the freshest catch of the day for a true taste of the island.
