Next, you'll need to go ashore to clear customs and discover the very welcoming locals and their culinary specialties, perhaps by enjoying grilled fish in one of the typical restaurants. After a good breakfast, we'll set sail again for a short cruise to Mayreau. Once there, the best place to anchor is probably Salt Whistle Bay, which offers incredible colors and a large white sand beach lined with coconut palms. Some even say it's the most beautiful cove in the Grenadines archipelago.

At daybreak, we set sail for the Tobago Cays, the famous paradise islands often used to represent the Caribbean.
The lagoon formed by the immense coral reef is protected and allows you to swim with turtles while observing exotic fish. This precious lagoon encircles the five small islands of the Tobago Cays archipelago and is a paradise on earth for sailors and divers. It is renowned as the most beautiful lagoon in the Caribbean. A visit is a must! You can enjoy fresh lobster barbecued on the beach in the evening.

From Cumberland or Wallilabu, you can easily walk to a nearby river, where you'll discover a magnificent sight: a waterfall plunging into lush vegetation.
