Beach overall scores
Princess Margaret beach (Saint Vincent and the Grenadines) is located outside the Port Elizabeth settlement, which may cause some difficulties for travelers who stay far from the coast. However, the remoteness from the village is not always a bad thing. Lovers of quiet rest know, the farther the beach, the fewer crowds.
The beach stretches on the coast of the Bequia island and the easiest way to get to the beach is by car or bike. If you don't have this option, then the second best solution is to use the taxi, which can drive you directly to the beach. The only problem, if your stay is far away it can be quite expensive. There is also a possibility of use of public transport, but in this case you need to check the correct route to the Princess Margaret beach with the locals. Take into account that the bus stop is usually in some distance., but accessing the beach requires traversing some distance on foot. While driving or cycling are the most convenient options for reaching the start point of trail, these methods may not be feasible for everyone. Alternatively, a taxi can be used to drive directly to the location. Public transportation is another option, but it's important to confirm the correct route with locals beforehand as the bus stop may be located at some distance.
User reviews
"I have been fortunate enough to visit a plethora of beaches, but this one truly stood out. The water was pristine and refreshing, and the tranquility of the beach was unparalleled. The abundance of natural shade provided a serene atmosphere for relaxation and rejuvenation. I highly recommend bringing your beach chairs to fully immerse yourself in the peaceful ambiance."

"The beach is absolutely amazing, despite the fact that it requires a bit of an adventure to reach it. Once you turn right off the cruise tender dock, there's a pleasant stroll through town before arriving at the golden sand beach."
