Grand Anse Beach World-famous and one of the best in the world, a visit to the 2 mile-long Grand Anse beach is highly recommnded on a visit to Grenada. Located at the south of the island, its turquoise water is clear, clean and calm - perfect and safe for swimming. Grape trees and hotels form a backdrop against this beautiful setting which locals and tourist both congenially occupy.

Here, vendors from all over the island come to sell their produce - vegetables, fruits, craft, souvenir items and spices. Especially busy on Saturday which is “market day” it may be a bit cramped, so it might be best to visit during the week. Vendors are friendly and will share information about their products without pressuring you to buy. Grenada is called the “Isle of Spice” and a visit to the market will confirm that.

The Museum, located in the island’s capital offer two floors of fascinating information about the tri- island state of Grenada, Carriacou and Petite Martinique. Photo Credit: Jenni Konrad
