Connecting the Past With the Present
Bequia's most notable feature is the large and inviting harbour of Admiralty Bay which has attracted people since the seventeenth century. Bequia's long history of boat making, includes a boat commissioned by Bob Dylan named the Water Pearl, was built by hand on the Gingerbread grounds. Today, The Friendship Rose which was built in Bequia and was once used as a ferry from Bequia to the mainland of St. Vincent offers trips to the Tobago Cays and Mustique.
Gingerbread's Unique History
Gingerbread Suites is located on the southeast shore of the Harbour on what is known as the Belmont Walkway.
