"A dramatic crescent of brilliant white sand forming a serene, sheltered anchorage at the island's northern tip, prized for its stunning Caribbean-to-Atlantic views, a laid-back cluster of beach bars and seaside eateries, and fiery sunsets that make it the social heart of the island for sailors and day-trippers." - Carley Rojas Avila Carley Rojas Avila Carley Rojas Avila is a bilingual travel writer, editor, and content marketer.

"Described by the captain simply as “a beach,” this glorious cove on a neighboring islet felt like a textbook Caribbean paradise—dotted with rum shacks and windblown coconut palms—and quickly became a favorite anchorage and shore stop for the crewed party." - David LaHuta David LaHuta David LaHuta is a Bermuda-based travel journalist, TV host, and the author of “Frommer’s Bermuda.” He’s visited more than 60 countries, appears on networks including the Travel Channel and CNN, and regularly contributes to The New York Times, Travel + Leisure, and Afar.

"While most of the Grenadines’ most luxurious hotels cater to the one percent, Salt Whistle Bay, on Mayreau, offers a blissfully pared back—though no less exclusive—experience. You’ll feel like a modern-day Robinson Crusoe when holed up in one of the 22-acre property’s eco-friendly bell tents or stone bungalows, each outfitted with colorful rugs, fans, and plush linens, and positioned to capture ocean breezes. By day, swim with sea turtles, sting rays, and tropical fish in the surrounding reef-filled waters—snorkeling masks are free to guests, as are stand-up paddleboards—or try kiteboarding on the resort’s designated beach. By night, share those adventures over a dinner of grilled lobster at the on-site restaurant and bar."
"If you were to picture the perfect Caribbean beach, it would probably look something like Salt Whistle Bay on Mayreau. Here, clear, turquoise waters lap at 2.5 miles of sparkling white sand, while palm trees, seagrape plants, and flowering bushes provide shady spots for lounging. At one end, you can walk the few yards of land that separate the Caribbean and Atlantic sides of the island. The only catch is that you’ll need a boat to reach the beach, so rent your own or book a day sail to Mayreau."
