Grenada

Grenada is part of the Windward Islands, located in the southern Caribbean. Grenada is a beautiful island with some very attractive areas and is relatively un-spoilt by tourist development. Grenada has great beaches and lush mountainous regions.

Grenada’s capital is St Georges, in one of the most beautiful locations in the Caribbean. Set between steep hills and the deep horse-shoe shaped harbour, St Georges has steep winding streets, colourful buildings and a Creole atmosphere. It has a mix of both French and English colonial history. Fantastic views are available from Fort George (1705), while Fort Frederick, built in the 18th century, is well preserved.

Grand Anse is a series of resorts that are situated around a beautiful white sandy beach; the sea is turquoise and clear while the backdrop is steep and mountainous.

Grenada’s rainforest interior is fantastic. Garad Etang Road twists its way northward through the rainforest. Grand Etang National Park offers amazing views and Annandale Falls are worth a visit. The road eventually reaches Sauters, a tiny settlement enclosed by steep cliffs. Bathways Beach is a remote and un-spoilt beach, and the north coast is private and relaxing, offering some great off- shore island views. Carriacou and the volcanic cone of Petit Martinique are two off-shore islands that can be visited, offering a chance to witness the local lifestyle.

There is a good selection of hotels, resorts and smaller guest houses offering a nice variety of accommodation and with a good range of prices to suit your needs. There is also an array of restaurants and bars catering to a variety of tastes.

Point Salines International Airport receives some flights from the US, London and various connecting flights from other islands in the Caribbean. There is also a weekly ferry service from Barbados.
