Mayreau
 
 

Mayreau lies just to the west of Tobago Cays National Marine Park. There is a small local community of around 200 people who live in the hill top village of Old Wall.

Although it is only one and half square miles, Mayreau is blessed with several beautiful beaches. The near perfect half-moon white sand and palm fringed Saltwhistle Bay is a popular anchorage for visiting yachts and is loved by locals.

This windward beach is also internationally regarded as a prime windsurf and kite surf location.

Unique among their neighbours for their French-Catholic heritage, the people of Mayreau are also unique in their harmoniousness. On this island with no airport, one road, no bank, rain-caught drinking water and white-sand beaches you will find a society in which strife is virtually unknown and credit crunch and internet speed issues are not in their vocabulary.
