The Grenadines’ smallest inhabited island, Mayreau covers only about one and half square miles and has only one village with no name where everyone lives. The village is perched on top of Station Hill on the south-west end of the island and has a school, the Catholic Church of the Immaculate Conception, a telecommunications building, and a Pentecostal church. Behind the Catholic Church is an overlook that offers spectacular view of Tobago Cays, Canouan, and Union Island. There is a single-lane road that runs from the Saline Bay through the village to Saltwhistle Bay. Saline Bay got its name because of the salt pond from which salt was exported in the past, but it is now used only by the locals. Most of the islanders are fishermen, the tourism is an important part of the island economy. There is a small resort on Saltwhistle Bay, which is also a very popular anchoring spot for the passing yachts.
