Friendship
Bay Beach is a lovely semi-circle of sand facing southeast, protected
by a headland so that waves are seldom more than a foot high. The attractive
view towards Mustique is enhanced by the tiny islets of Whale Cay, and
Semple Island, with the somewhat larger Petit Nevis in the background.
Two hotels front on this bay so refreshments are at hand.
This calm and serene bay offers shelter to a fleet of boats from sailing
yachts to tour boats seeking shelter against strong winds. It is also
a famous take-off to well-known islands like Phi Phi, Coral Island, Mar
Thon Island, Racha Island and the dive sites of Dok Mai and Shark Point.
It bustles with activity from the crack of dawn till 9.00 am as the boats
leave for their destination of the day . From 4.30 to 5.30 PM this bay
is again quite busy with the passengers returning from their offshore
island tours. Seaside restaurants by the pier attract bus loads of tourists
in the evening after they have been to see the famous sunset from Promthep
Cape.
