🎭 Top Things to Do in Grenada
Beach Lovers & Water Worshippers
🏖️ Grand Anse Beach – Grand Anse takes top spot – a stunningly beautiful spread of white, sugary sand and gin-clear water. Hotels and activity centres line the sand, but considerately - built lower than the palms to keep Mother Nature at the fore. This is where you'll want to spend proper chunks of your time!
🎨 Underwater Sculpture Park – The Underwater Sculpture Park in Molinere Bay is a must-visit for those who adore the ocean. Visitors can marvel at the nearly 100 works of art, including "Coral Carnival," which highlights the beautiful connection between art, culture, and marine conservation. No diving skills necessary – snorkeling is fine!
🏝️ Morne Rouge Beach – Also called BBC Beach, this crescent-shaped beauty is often quieter than Grand Anse but just as stunning. Perfect for a romantic escape or when you want to feel like you've got your own private slice of paradise.
Adventure Seekers & Nature Lovers
🌿 Grand Etang National Park – Grand Etang National Park has got trails for everyone, no matter how much hiking you typically do. One of the most popular is the hike to the Seven Sisters Waterfalls. It's a bit of a walk through the forest, but the end is amazing—you get to cool off in natural pools under the waterfalls.
💧 Annandale Falls – A picturesque waterfall surrounded by lush tropical vegetation, perfect for swimming, photography, and nature walks. Just a short drive from St. George's and absolutely brilliant for a refreshing dip!
🏰 Fort George – An 18th-century fort in St. George's offering panoramic views of the harbor and insights into Grenada's colonial history. The views alone are worth the trip – proper postcard material!
Culture Buffs & Spice Enthusiasts
🍫 Belmont Estate – A historic cocoa plantation offering tours, tastings, and insight into Grenada's chocolate-making process. This is where you'll understand why Grenadian chocolate is world-famous – it's mental good!
🥃 River Antoine Distillery – The River Antoine Distillery is the oldest distillery in Grenada. It also has the oldest working water mill in the Caribbean. Visiting the distillery really feels like traveling back in time. Warning: their 150-proof rum is proper potent – some people use it as disinfectant!
🌶️ Spice Plantations – Known as the "Spice Isle," Grenada produces nutmeg, cinnamon, and other spices that you can smell wafting through the air. The tours are brilliant and you'll never look at your spice rack the same way again!
