bars, island tours through lush, summer-fresh scenery, boat day trips, and much more…<br />

stamps, and ice-cold bottled water are all for sale there, along with souvenir T-shirts at bargain prices, courtesy flags and much<br />
more. And don't forget to pick up a FREE copy of “Ins & Outs of St. Vincent & the Grenadines” - a beautiful publication packed full<br />

<strong>Bequia</strong>’s bank BOSVG (off Back Street) is equipped with two 24-hour ATM machines which will accept most credit cards. If you are<br />
on a yacht, our friendly Customs & Immigration officers in the Revenue Office will answer any questions you might have (see opening<br />

trouble checking and sending your emails, browsing for news or getting the latest weather updates.<br />
