Best Beaches

There are two bodies of water surrounding Mustique, the Caribbean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean. The main beach is Macaroni Bay – this is the beach that you can see from Jasmine Cottage and has lovely waves and a grass area to picnic in. The other is Lagoon Beach which is on the quieter Caribbean Sea. It's perfect for very small children and again has the perfect picnic area just in front of the lagoon. There is a path from this beach to secluded Geliceaux Bay which you can only reach by foot following the rocky path to the left. There are many other beaches on the island, not all of them suitable for swimming, but all beautiful and deliver the cooling trade winds that surround this property.

Enjoying Mustique's Unspoilt environment on foot

There is a walk from Obsidian Bay to Pasture Bay which can be difficult to follow but is well worth the effort. Stick with the coast and you shouldn't go too far wrong, time approx. 1½ hours. The walk the other way from Macaroni to Pasture is also a must – it shouldn't take more than 10 minutes but probably best to wear sandals even though you can do it barefoot.

The Beaches

Macaroni Beach is perhaps the most famous of Mustique's nine beaches and is situated on the eastern Atlantic coast. Other popular beaches are Endeavour, Lagoon, L'Ansecoy, Pasture Bay and Simplicity, several have picnic hut facilities. Some beaches are connected along the coastline by rustic paths.

Mustique Island

The Isle of Mustique is privately owned and it's constant warm climate and unspoilt landscape makes it unique and extremely desirable. Discreetly maintained by The Mustique Company a maximum of 100 residential properties may exist although there are currently only around 90 in existence. Of the few roads on the island, little signage exists and all the telephone and power cables are underground. In essence Mustique has been developed in reverse, the properties are sophisticated whilst the landscape is unspoilt and serene.

Covering 1,400 acres Mustique has several coral reefs at it's waters edge and plays host to a variety of beautiful wildlife such as herons, tortoises, iguanas and a wide variety of tropical birds. The year round population of around 500 live mostly in the villages of Lovell, Britannia Bay and Dover. General history of the island dates back to the 15th century when Spanish sailors named the island 'Los Pajaros' or The Birds' as the islands resembled a flock of birds settling on the ocean. Originally the islands main export was Sugarcane but this was eventually abandoned in the 19th century when sugar was sourced from European-grown sugar beet. Remains of the Sugarcane industry such as the 'Cotton House' and sugar mill at Endeavour are the last physical traces of the islands historic past.

Horse Riding on Mustique

The Equestrian Centre on Mustique offers the unique opportunity to ride along this unspoilt coastline and lush island landscape. The centre is open from Monday to Friday and rides are scheduled at 9.30am and 3.30pm.
