Grenada

The Carenage is St. George's stunning horseshoe inner harbour — a working waterfront of schooners, inter-island boats, and colourful warehouses that climbs up into a hillside town of Georgian colonial buildings and terracotta-roofed churches. Widely considered the most picturesque harbour town in the Eastern Caribbean.

A French-built fort from 1705 set on the dramatic promontory above St. George's harbour, offering the most spectacular 360-degree view of the Carenage, Grand Anse Bay, and the surrounding hillsides. The fort is also the site of the 1983 Grenadian Revolution — the cannons and the history are equally compelling.

A working 17th-century organic plantation in Grenada's lush north, producing the island's famous estate chocolate from bean to bar. The tour follows Trinitario cacao through fermentation, drying, and roasting, followed by a tasting of Grenada's extraordinary single-origin chocolate.

A beautiful 30-foot waterfall tumbling into a natural rock pool, surrounded by lush rainforest vegetation including nutmeg, cinnamon, and ginger plants. Local guides dive from the top for tips. A cool, photogenic stop accessible by a short forest trail.

A Grenadian institution on the Carenage waterfront, beloved for its hearty West Indian lunches — callaloo soup, oil down (the national dish), and grilled fish — served with magnificent views of the inner harbour. Been feeding locals and visitors since 1969.

A jewel of Grenadian cuisine right on the Carenage — the stuffed crab back (local land crab baked in its shell with herbs, breadcrumbs, and spices) is the signature dish, alongside superb seafood and Caribbean cocktails in a candlelit setting.

An iconic Grand Anse Beach bar-restaurant with colourful umbrellas, sun loungers, and a menu of freshly grilled lobster, fish tacos, and rum cocktails served directly on the sand. The definitive Grand Anse lunch experience.

The fine-dining restaurant at Blue Horizons Garden Resort, overlooking Grand Anse Bay. Chef Gary Rhodes' Grenadian outpost serves contemporary Caribbean cuisine — nutmeg-spiced snapper, Grenadian chocolate mousse, and rum-glazed pork with remarkable culinary finesse.

A charming French bakery-café steps from the Carenage serving fresh croissants, baguette sandwiches, Grenadian black pineapple jam, and good coffee. Run by a French expat family, it's an unexpected slice of Paris on the Caribbean waterfront.

A lively, irreverent waterfront bar on the Carenage — exactly as its name suggests — beloved by yachties, locals, and cruise visitors alike. Cold Clarke's Court rum punch, loud music, and the best people-watching perch on the Carenage.

A popular local sports bar in the St. George's town centre with cold Carib beer, rum cocktails, live sports on multiple screens, and a reliably warm Grenadian welcome. Frequented more by locals than tourists — an authentic slice of Grenadian street life.

A gorgeous marina-side beach bar at True Blue Bay Resort, with a floating bar platform in the turquoise water, hammocks strung between palms, and a selection of excellent rum cocktails. One of the most photographed bar settings in Grenada.

A laid-back waterfront café on the Carenage serving Grenadian coffee (grown in the rainforest interior), fresh tropical juices, and homemade coconut bread. The ideal morning stop before exploring St. George's.

A relaxed, unpretentious café-diner on the Carenage offering hearty breakfasts, freshly squeezed juices, and Grenadian pastries. Popular with harbour workers and boat crews — a genuine local café with honest prices.

One of the Caribbean's most celebrated beaches — a breathtaking 3 km crescent of fine white sand with calm, crystal-clear turquoise water. The beach faces due west for spectacular sunsets, is backed by coconut palms, and shelves gently for safe swimming at all depths.

A beautiful, less-visited white-sand beach just south of Grand Anse with wonderfully clear water and far fewer visitors. The beach is backed by sea grape trees and has a relaxed, local atmosphere — one of Grenada's best-kept secrets for cruise visitors.

The world's first underwater sculpture park — 65 life-size concrete figures installed on the seabed off Molinière Bay in 2006 by sculptor Jason deCaires Taylor. Now encrusted with coral and teeming with marine life, it is one of the Caribbean's most extraordinary snorkelling experiences.

A guided tour of the Belmont Estate covering the full bean-to-bar chocolate journey — fermenting, drying, roasting, and tasting Grenada's world-class organic single-origin chocolate, plus a demonstration of nutmeg and mace harvesting and processing.

A guided hike through Grenada's lush Grand Etang National Park to the Seven Sisters Waterfalls — a series of cascading pools set deep in the rainforest interior. The trail passes nutmeg groves, giant ferns, and the Grand Etang volcanic crater lake.

A half-day catamaran sail along Grenada's stunning southwestern coast — visiting the Underwater Sculpture Park for snorkelling, anchoring in secluded bays, and sailing back past Grand Anse Beach with an open rum-punch bar and steel-pan music.
