Continuing to explore Port Elizabeth, Bequia

After our trek up to Fort Hamilton in Bequia, we descend from the fort and follow the road around the harbor back toward the town of Port Elizabeth and then follow the Belmont Walkway along the water to Princess Margaret Beach.

Entering town

After passing the market, we walk down the main street, Belmont Road, lined with shops, restaurants, and stands selling crafts for the few tourists in the area.

The Belmont Walkway links Port Elizabeth to Princess Margaret Beach, proceeding along the edge of the water, with steps and a steep section over a small hill between the town and the beach.  The path starts at Laura's Restaurant where Belmont Road turns inland (continuing on its own way over the hill to Princess Margaret Beach) and then proceeds along the water.

After a short swim at the beach, we follow the Belmont Walkway back to Belmont Road and return to the dock to end our short visit to Bequia.
