Mayreau : Profile

Location

Mayreau lies west of the Tobago Cays. It is the smallest (1 1/2 square miles) of the inhabited Grenadine islands, with a population of about 250 people. The island is rimmed by magnificent sweeping white sandy beaches.

Docking

There is an anchorage in the lagoon.

Saltwhistle Bay in the north, is a beauitful anchorage with several beach bars. But it is popular with charter boats and the space is tight. Robberies have been reported here, both in 2009 and 2011.

Last updated January 2011.
