The island, 3 miles long and 1,5 miles wide at its widest point, is hilly, with a large plain in the north and is essentially composed of seven valleys each with a white sand beach and wooded hills that rise to a height of 495 feet.

    A jetty is located in Britannia Bay. Ships and visitors must be cleared at the Airport by Immigration and Customs. Mustique Moorings (call VHF 16/68) control the 33 moorings. Vessels carriying more than 25 people are prohibited.

    Rental Mules (heavy-duty golf carts) and motorbikes are available from Mustique Mechanical Services (488-8555). There are a few taxis available in Lovell Village and at the airport. The best way to see the island however, is on foot or by horseback.

    There is a clinic, across from the airport, with an on-call doctor available (488-8000).

    With a harbour front focal point, this fishing village is the commercial heart of the island. Groceries can be bought at Corea's Food Store and at the Mustique General Store. The French-run Sweetie Pie Bakery is a fabulous place to stock up on baguettes, croissants and pain au chocolate. Basil's Bar & Restaurant is just across the road. A visit to their Wednesday night barbecue buffet is a must, as is staying for the "jump up"! The annual Mustique Blues Festival, is held at the bar.
    The boutique at Basil's, and the much-photographed pink and purple gingerbread houses of Treasure Boutiques, are splendid places to pick up souvenirs.
