Wallilabou Anchorage

St. Vincent and the Grenadines Travel Guide

"A tiny hotel and eatery on a black-sand bay with a strong nautical/pirate theme, offering simple fare and cocktails in view of catamarans at anchor. The location served as one of the filming sites for the Pirates of the Caribbean movies, and the write-up highlights local stories about celebrity encounters during filming alongside swimming at the black-sand beach and nearby waterfall visits." - Carley Rojas Avila Carley Rojas Avila Carley Rojas Avila is a bilingual travel writer, editor, and content marketer.

"Wallilabou Anchorage is a favorite stop for boaters looking for a meal and landlubbers exploring St. Vincent’s leeward coast. About an hour’s drive north of Kingstown, the restaurant serves breakfast, snacks, sandwiches, and West Indian dishes, including freshly caught fish. While you savor local specialties, your kids can play around the Pirates of the Caribbean movie sets, which the filmmakers left behind when they were done shooting here."
