Bequia is with 18 km² the largest island of the Grenadines and part of the State Saint Vincent. The name means "island of clouds" in the Arawak language of the indigenous people but is rarely an appropriate designation. The name is pronounced somewhat surprisingly as "BECK-way". Bequia has a small airport, which is flown to from other islands in the region, including Barbados and St. Lucia.
