Beaches in Grenada

Grand Anse beach:

Almond trees and palm trees surround the soft white sand of Grand Anse, the most famous and popular beach of Grenada. There’s a thrilling landscape of the shore from the capital, St George’s. The beach is ideal for swimming since the sea is usually calm and perfect for diving. Besides several beach bars and restaurants, there’s a variety of water sports shops here.

Morne Rouge beach:

This beach is also known as BBC Beach after the former nightclub on the coast. At the backside of the horseshoe-shaped Gulf of Morne Rouge, there are 400 hectares of amazing, white sand arcs. This is a specially protected area of the Grenada coast. Behind the beach, there are some small hotels and a few villas on the green hillside, which contains the gulf. Seagrapes and almond trees cast some shadow on the sand. The best way to explore this oval section of the shore is on board of a boat.

Magazine beach:

This beautiful, 500-yard-long beach covered by soft sand lies in the southwestern corner of the island. The beach is surrounded by restaurants and hotels, but it has an empty space in the middle. This beach is less sheltered, big waves often stir up the water. It’s usually quite silent on weekdays but on the weekend locals like grilling on the sandy shore.

Grenada has just as attractive sights as most Caribbean islands. To truly experience this unique place, taste the rum in the River Antoine Rum Distillery. Also, don’t forget to view the nutmeg plantations. Many people compare the narrow streets of the capital, St. George’s, to an oil painting.
