The "Moonhole" is a
large natural arch on
the western tip of
Bequia. The original
dwellings were built by
Tom Johnson in the
1960's directly below
the arch; however, rock
falls proved too
dangerous for continued
occupation. The name
apparently derives from
the fact that the Moon
can be seen through the
arch at certain times of
the month.
There are some 20 or
more dwellings on the
site; some abandoned,
some occupied and some
used as unique holiday
rentals. All the rooms
are open to the elements
with no windows or doors
and tree roots are
allowed to grow through
the rooms. So, if you
are looking for
something a little bit
different from your
vacation home, then the
Moonhole may well be
what you are seeking; a
back to nature
experience.
