Britannia Bay, Lovell - Health

HURRICANE BERYL:  The island nations of St. Vincent and the Grenadines and Grenada were the worst affected by Hurricane Beryl at the start of July 2024. The Grenadines, Carriacou, Petit Martinique and Union Island were particularly hard hit.  While the islands are recovering and all major marine services are back up and running (apart from on Union Island), cruisers should be aware that the islands are still in recovery mode and some services may still be limited or not available.

Where is Britannia Bay, Lovell?

This small island, lying south of Bequia, is just five kms (three miles) long. It is wooded and hilly and has several spectacular white sandy beaches. It is a favourite holiday spot for the rich and famous.

While Mustique is still open to visiting yachts, the regulations now involve hefty mooring fees and often prevent visitors from wandering very far ashore.

The only mooring allowed is in Britannia Bay.

Information on the island can be found on the Mustique website.
