Wallilabou Bay is located on the North West coast of St Vincent. The small bay consists of a black sand beach, a small hotel, customs office, two small boat docks (the photo opposite may look familiar for movie buffs?) and sheltered moorings.

There is a beautiful natural stone arch at the entrance to the bay which is also good for snorkelling.

Wallilabou can be used as port of entry for yachts arriving from St Lucia or Martinique. The customs office is open for an hour at 5 pm in the evenings. The bay provides a sheltered anchorage for a night's stop over, but beware of the St Vincent boat boys who can be quite persistent.

The Wallilabou Anchorage Hotel has a restaurant open to the public with a selection authentic local dishes and a selection of props and souvenirs from the Pirates of the Caribbean film sets.

Wallilabou Bay was the main Caribbean location for all the "Pirates of the Caribbean" movies. The bay bustled with hundreds of crew and cast members as Wallilabou was transformed in to the make believe "Port Royal" (supposedly in Jamaica). The set comprised of the Wallilabou Anchorage Hotel, shops and the customs office; all with a makeover to suite the period of the movies.

All the films were shot here; "The Curse of the Black Pearl", "Dead Mans Chest" and "World's End"; starring Johnny Depp (as Jack Sparrow), Orlando Bloom (as Will Turner) and Keira Knightley (as Elizabeth Swann).

St Vincent and the Grenadines have been widely used in movies and most recently Petit Tabac island (part of the Tobago Cays) was the backdrop for Johnny Depp being marooned in "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl".
