Things to See & Do in Grenada

Grenada overview

Beach days on the southwest coast, a pretty capital, and a green interior of rainforest, waterfalls and spice. Most of the island is a day out from one base near Grand Anse.

St. George’s

The capital curves around the Carenage, a horseshoe-shaped harbour lined with waterfront buildings. Walk up to Fort George for the view over the town and the harbour, and visit the market for spices and local produce.

Grand Anse and the southwest beaches

Grand Anse is a long beach just south of St. George’s, with calm water, hotels and restaurants along it. Quieter coves such as Morne Rouge sit close by, and the southwest coast is where most visitors stay.

The Underwater Sculpture Park

In Molinere Bay, north of St. George’s, sculptures by Jason deCaires Taylor sit on the seabed, first installed in 2006 to help a damaged reef recover. The figures lie about 5 to 8 metres down, so snorkellers can see them from the surface and divers can get closer. Most visits are by boat with a local operator.

Rainforest, waterfalls and spice

Grand Etang National Park in the mountainous interior has a crater lake and rainforest trails. Waterfalls such as Annandale are easy to reach, while the hike to the Seven Sisters Falls is longer and muddier, best with a guide.

Grenada is known for nutmeg, cocoa and other spices. A visit to a nutmeg processing station or a cocoa estate that makes its own chocolate shows where the island’s nickname comes from.

Carriacou and Petite Martinique

Grenada’s smaller sister islands, reached by ferry or a short flight, are quieter still. They were badly damaged by Hurricane Beryl in July 2024, and recovery has taken time, so I check what is open before suggesting a stay there.

What to eat

Oil down, the national dish, is a one-pot stew of breadfruit, salted meat or fish and vegetables cooked in coconut milk. Nutmeg turns up everywhere, from rum punch to ice cream.
