Bequia Heritage Museum — Attraction in undefined

The most amazing little museum. The Heritage centre is in 2 buildings, one full of boating bits, the other pottery, pipes and bottles from American Indian times right through the colonial period.

We thoroughly recommend spending a couple of hours here and gaining a much deeper understanding of the island's history, which is far more fascinating than I would ever have...
