Sea, Sun, and Sets: Enjoying Our All-Weather Tennis Court in Friendship Bay
If your perfect Caribbean day includes a morning rally and a sunset swim, our all-weather tennis court in Friendship Bay makes it easy to blend fitness with pure island bliss. Set within Bequia Beach Hotel’s lush, beachfront grounds, the court invites you to play at your pace—then cool down on golden sand, drift into the seawater infinity pool, or refuel at our beachside restaurants.
In this guide, you’ll find what makes the court special, how to plan your session, and the best ways to recover—ocean-side—after match point.
