Overview
St. George's, the vibrant and picturesque capital of Grenada, is a beloved cruise port nestled on the island's southwestern coast. Often hailed as one of the most beautiful harbors in the Caribbean, its horseshoe-shaped Carenage is lined with colorful colonial buildings, historic forts, and bustling activity, all set against a backdrop of lush green hills and volcanic peaks. Known globally as the "Spice Isle," Grenada tantalizes visitors with the scent of nutmeg, cinnamon, cloves, and other exotic spices that grow abundantly across the island.
For cruise passengers, St. George's offers a captivating blend of cultural immersion, historical exploration, and access to breathtaking natural attractions. From exploring the charming town and its historic sites to relaxing on pristine beaches, diving into vibrant coral reefs, or venturing into the island's rainforests to discover waterfalls and spice plantations, a stop in St. George's promises an aromatic and adventurous Caribbean experience.
Wander along The Carenage, St. George's iconic horseshoe-shaped harbor. Admire the colorful Georgian-style buildings, observe fishing boats and yachts, and soak in the lively atmosphere. Then, head into the town center to explore Market Square, Church Street, and the Grenada National Museum.
Tip: Take the Sendall Tunnel, a pedestrian tunnel carved through the hillside, to connect The Carenage with the main shopping streets. It's a short but interesting walk.
Climb up to Fort George, an 18th-century French-built fort perched on a hilltop overlooking St. George's. Explore the historic ramparts, learn about its strategic importance, and enjoy unparalleled panoramic views of the Carenage, the cruise ship, and the surrounding coastline.
Tip: The walk up is steep but rewarding. Bring water and wear comfortable shoes. There's usually a small entrance fee.
Indulge in some classic Caribbean relaxation at Grand Anse Beach, consistently ranked among the world's best. This two-mile stretch of soft white sand and calm, turquoise waters is perfect for swimming, sunbathing, and enjoying watersports. It's easily accessible by taxi or water taxi from St. George's.
Tip: Numerous beach bars and restaurants line Grand Anse, offering refreshments, local food, and amenities.
Embark on a snorkeling or diving excursion to the Grenada Underwater Sculpture Park in Moliniere Bay. This unique art installation features over 100 sculptures that also function as an artificial reef, attracting diverse marine life and offering a truly memorable underwater experience.
Tip: This is a must-do for marine enthusiasts. Check if your cruise line offers this excursion, or book with a reputable local tour operator specializing in snorkeling/diving.
Immerse yourself in Grenada's "Spice Isle" heritage with a spice plantation tour. Visit a working plantation or a spice garden like Laura Herb and Spice Garden to learn about the cultivation and processing of nutmeg, cinnamon, cloves, vanilla, and other aromatic spices. Many offer samples and fresh spices for purchase.
Tip: These tours often include fascinating insights into the island's agricultural economy and offer unique souvenir opportunities.
Venture into the lush interior of Grenada to Grand Etang National Park, a protected rainforest reserve centered around a volcanic crater lake. Enjoy short nature walks, look for Mona monkeys, and visit one of the island's beautiful waterfalls like Annandale Falls or Concord Falls, often with opportunities for a refreshing swim.
Tip: Wear sturdy shoes for hiking and bring insect repellent. If you plan to swim at a waterfall, bring swimwear and a towel.
