The experiences below are in St George and can help you organize your interests as you plan your trip.
Coast, Gardens, and Nature in St George
Grand Anse Beach is two miles long and known for its white sand and calm, turquoise water. The beach has water sports on offer, as well as a craft and spice market. Nature, water-based activities, and local crafts therefore come together as different travel interests here.
Annandale Waterfalls is a 30-foot cascade surrounded by a garden of colorful flowers and tropical vegetation. The pool below is suitable for a relaxing swim, alone or with family; check current swimming conditions before your visit. An interpretation center explores the surrounding ecosystem.
Gardens and conservation also offer their own highlights. The Mt Hartman reserve protects the Grenada dove. Smithy’s Garden features rainforest plants and is open to the public by prior appointment. Richmond Hill offers views from the edge of the volcano; Dragon Bay has coral reefs. Grenada also has two seagrass species: turtle grass and manatee grass.
History and Architecture
The Grenada National Museum is dedicated to preserving, interpreting, and promoting the history and culture of Grenada, Carriacou, and Petite Martinique. It is located in one of Grenada’s oldest buildings, in downtown St. George’s. The city’s historic architecture dates largely from the 19th century; buildings along the Carenage showcase examples of this architectural history.
Fort Matthew was built from 1784 to 1790. Its 18th-century bathrooms, army kitchens, and cell blocks are largely preserved. Visitors can walk through the preserved tunnel system beneath the fort; check current access options before visiting. Fort Frederick is one of the best-preserved bastions in the Caribbean. From there, panoramic views extend from the nearby Carenage and the Caribbean Sea to the wooded ridges in the north.
Underwater Art and Spicemas
The Underwater Sculpture Park is an underwater gallery and snorkeling area in the Molinere Beauséjour Marine Protected Area. As an artificial reef, it attracts marine life. The Coral Carnival installation comprises 25 large-scale works featuring masked figures from Spicemas, the carnival held annually in August. The park thus brings together the underwater world and a theme from Grenada’s festival culture, while the snorkeling area offers a different perspective on the installation.
Spices and Culinary Experiences
At De La Grenade Nutmeg Garden, the guided tour includes an aromatic walk and tastings of beverage concentrates, syrups, jams, and La Grenade liqueur. The garden also explores the historical, traditional, and medicinal uses of Grenada’s spices. The Tower Estate offers afternoon teas, estate lunches, and culinary safaris; its garden features collections of heliconias, bromeliads, and ginger lilies. As tour and booking details may change, check them before planning your visit.
