Morne Rouge

Beautiful half-mile crescent with calm water that makes for excellent swimming.

Reviewed By kalis43 - Annapolis, United States

Known locally as BBC Beach, this is a great spot to stretch out and relax. Lounge chairs in sun or shade were available for rent for about five bucks. The water was very calm and clear for swimming but not good for snorkeling. Restrooms and a local bar right there, near Sur La Mar hotel. Natives selling clothes and jewelry but they don’t intrude. Only problem: a booze cruise boat came and unloaded a crowd, but they only stayed for about an hour. Windstar was docked in the harbor at Saint Georges so we had to take a $25 taxi ride to and from the beach, which is the same price to go to any of the other beaches. I understand that some of the cruise ships dock in a different area near the water taxi which is much less expensive. We stopped to see Grand Anse and didn’t like it, no charm, just big. It’s all in what you’re looking for. If what you want is a quiet relaxing beautiful beach with more locals than tourists,,?you’re at the right spot.

Mount Qua Qua

Mountain with an emerald-green summit and vista-laden hiking trails.

Reviewed By shanitrip - England, United Kingdom

The Mount Qua Qua trail has some breathtaking views! It is well worth the hike! After reading some reviews I was apprehensive about doing the trail due to descriptions of ‘narrow paths’, ‘steep drops’ and ‘cuts and bruises’. The hike was amazing and is a MUST if you are looking for a fun day out with beautiful views and some adventure. The path was not too narrow and I did the trail in 2.5hrs (round trip) without falling over or being cut by razor grass. We went on a dry day, wore long trousers, ankle wellies and found a stick to use for support. On a wet day the trail would be more challenging! As an inexperienced hiker I found the trail fairly easy and well marked. Please give it a go!

Royal Mount Carmel Falls

Comprised of two sublime waterfalls that plunge more than 70 feet into crystal pools. Together they make up the island's highest waterfall.

Reviewed By holoboss1 - Roseau, Caribbean

This one has easy access - 5 to 10 minutes walk on a simple trail (you don't need a guide - although at entrance there are guys offering you this service). Once there, you can enjoy quite an unusual view. Unlike most falls, this one is very wide, a straight rock block with water pouting over its top. Quite picturesque, and quite easy. and you can have a swim in pool under it. A word of caution - on a rainy day path gets muddy and slippery, keep it in mind.

Levera Beach

An important waterfowl habitat and sea turtle nesting site near Bathways beach.

Reviewed By Barton21

Levera Beach is roughly a 15-20 minute walk of 5 minute drive north of Bathway Beach. While Bathway Beach seems to be more popular, Levera Beach is prettier and a lot less busy. The afternoon I visited, there were just half a dozen kids splashing in the surf. The rest of the beach was essentially empty, except for the guard who watches sleepily from his small hut on the beach. Unlike Bathway Beach, there are no vendors at Levera Beach, so you'll need to bring your own food and drinks. A short distance off shore are Sugar Loaf island, Green island, and Sandy island. They make a beautiful backdrop and seem to provide some shelter from the powerful Atlantic surf. I didn't go in when I was there, but the water did look calm enough to swim there.

Seven Sisters Falls

One of Grenada's most beautiful areas where a waterfall rushes down the mountainside into a large pool perfect for swimming.

Reviewed By dhwy - Folsom, United States

We picked up a local guide on our walk in. It took us to all falls and was very helpful and informative. The trail was arduous at times and in some disrepair but the effort is worth it. Saw monkeys on the way as well.

Sandy Island

A small beach island known for its snorkeling.

Reviewed By mattmX4628UL

My wife and I had the opportunity to visit this island with the sailing trip we were on. It looks like something out of a movie set with the white sandy beaches and palm trees lined along the length of the island. The snorkeling was wonderful. While we drifted beyond the northern tip of the island toward the beach, we saw many varieties of fish (with some in large schools) along with stingrays, a spotted eel, many varieties of coral, and many different plants. We spent the rest of the morning relaxing in the clear water and on the beach. The area is not very large so relaxing and snorkeling are about the only options you have. This is a national park so you are not allowed to take anything from the premises.

Beautiful water. Rocks guard surf so can swim in front of them. Lifeguards on duty 6am -6pm. Food and drink available. Nice little visitor center with interesting information. Picnic tables to enjoy a lunch. Levere Beach a quick drive from here.

Underwater Sculptures

Reviewed By JohnV802 - Hamilton, Canada

Unique experience, would be better for scuba divers but still neat to see. Lots of interesting sculptures. Tour was with Dive Grenada who picked us up at resort, provided good snorkeling equipment, comfortable boat ride out, and guidance around sculptures.
