Moonhole
A village of stone houses built beneath a natural rock arch at the southwest tip of the island. Built in the 1960s by an American couple, the houses blend into the rock in a distinctive style.
Moonhole lies at the southwest tip of Bequia. In the 1960s, American couple Tom Johnston and his wife began building houses from local stone, whale bones and driftwood, without glass windows or an electrical grid. The earliest house was built beneath a natural rock arch through which moonlight passes, which is how the place got its name. It is now a private community, visitable only on a pre-booked guided tour, or you can view it from the sea by boat. A small beach nearby is good for snorkelling.
