Mustique - Activities
Though only three miles long, the Caribbean island of Mustique offers many
ways to have the vacation of a lifetime, including some activities that are
quite unique to Mustique: |

Beaches |
| Macaroni Beach is perhaps the most famous of our nine beaches and is
situated on the east coast of the island. Other popular beaches on the
Atlantic or Caribbean are Endeavour, Lagoon, L’Ansecoy, Pasture Bay and
Simplicity, several of which have picnic hut facilities. |

Bird Watching |
Mustique’s lagoon is the perfect setting for bird watching. Over 50 species
are indigenous to Mustique including the Mangrove Cuckoo and Tropical
Kingbird. |

shaded terrace overlooking a coconut plantation. Afternoon tea is served in
the verandah. For dinner, the Great Room verandah is the perfect setting for
a candlelight dinner. |

Bay, is a popular hangout for day visitors, sailors, villa owners and island
guests to enjoy casual drinks and food. Every Wednesday is "Jump Up" with

Hiking |
Several trails are marked for visitors to explore Mustique. Guests can do
nature hikes to see the beautiful flora and fauna of Mustique or learn the
history of the island going back to the days of old sugar mills and plantation
houses. Day trips to St. Vincent can be arranged for hiking and biking tours
(with guides) through the rainforest. Mustique is easy to explore on foot.
Some beaches are connected along the coastline by rustic stone paths. For
a more invigorating hike, the island has recently added a 2 mile Fitness Trail
with 14 different exercise stations/posts. |

Jeep Tours |
Kawasaki jeeps and mountain bikes can be rented from the Mustique
Mechanical Services to do some exploring on your own. Many roads are

the island's unspoiled environment and limit development. The island speed
limit is 20 miles per hour! |

Horseback Riding |
The Equestrian Center offers horseback riding trails all over the island.
Riders can trek up into the hills, admiring the many wonderful views, or ride

horses to suit every level including island ponies and thoroughbred horses.
Instruction is also available for every level rider. |

Photo Opportunities |
Mustique's natural beauty, rolling landscape and deserted beaches lends
itself to plenty of photo opportunities. The Mustique Company offers a
