The Spice Isle. Explore 23 attractions and 14 bookable experiences across the island.
Grenada earns its Spice Isle nickname within minutes of landing - the air carries nutmeg and cinnamon as you drive the winding roads through the interior, past hillsides thick with cocoa, clove, and mace trees. Start in St. George's, widely considered the prettiest harbor town in the Caribbean, where pastel warehouses and red-roofed churches climb the hills around the Carenage, the inner harbor where fishing boats and yachts bob side by side.
Walk up to Fort George for a panoramic view of the harbor and the coast stretching north, then descend through the narrow streets to the spice market near the cruise terminal, where vendors sell fresh nutmeg, turmeric, cinnamon sticks, and nutmeg jelly by the bag. The drive from St. George's into the mountainous interior takes you through a landscape that feels more like Southeast Asia than the Caribbean - Grand Etang National Park sits in the crater of an extinct volcano at 1,900 feet, with a lake-filled crater and trails ranging from a 15-minute loop to the challenging three-hour hike up Mount Qua Qua, which rewards with views across the entire island.
The Concord Falls are a series of three waterfalls accessible via a trail through nutmeg and cocoa plantations - most visitors stop at the first, easily reached cascade, but the 45-minute hike to the upper falls at Au Coin is where you can swim in a deep pool beneath a 65-foot drop in near solitude. On the coast, Grand Anse Beach stretches for two miles of soft white sand along the southwest shore, consistently ranked among the Caribbean's best, with calm water, no vendors hassling you, and a handful of beach bars rather than a wall of high-rises. Underwater, Grenada's signature attraction is the Moliniere Underwater Sculpture Park, installed by British artist Jason deCaires Taylor in 2006 - a collection of concrete human figures on the seafloor at shallow depth, now encrusted with coral and sponges, accessible by snorkel or a short boat ride from Grand Anse.
Serious divers should head to the Bianca C wreck, a 600-foot Italian cruise liner that sank in 1961 and now sits upright in 165 feet of water, the largest accessible shipwreck in the Caribbean. For a cultural deep dive, visit Belmont Estate in the parish of St. Patrick, a working organic plantation where you can trace chocolate from cacao pod to finished bar, tour the nutmeg and spice gardens, and eat a Grenadian lunch cooked in an outdoor kitchen.
Moliniere Bay's underwater gallery features over 75 concrete sculptures by Jason deCaires Taylor, submerged at depths of 5 to 25 feet and now colonized by coral, sponges, and tropical fish. Most operators run short boat trips from Grand Anse Beach. Snorkelers can see the major pieces in waist-to-chest-deep water on calm days.
The trail to Au Coin, the uppermost of the three Concord waterfalls, winds through nutmeg and cocoa groves for about 45 minutes. The reward is a 65-foot cascade pouring into a deep, swimmable pool surrounded by rainforest. Wear sturdy shoes and bring a dry bag for your camera.
This 300-year-old working plantation in St. Patrick parish offers a complete farm-to-bar chocolate experience. Watch cacao beans fermented, dried, roasted, and tempered into finished chocolate. The estate also grows nutmeg, clove, and cinnamon, and serves a traditional Grenadian buffet lunch cooked over open fires.
The 600-foot Italian cruise liner sank in St. George's harbor in 1961 and now rests upright at 100 to 165 feet. It is the largest accessible shipwreck in the Caribbean, with swim-throughs along the upper decks and dense marine life including barracuda, eagle rays, and reef sharks. Advanced certification recommended.
This three-hour round-trip ridge hike in Grand Etang National Park follows a narrow trail through cloud forest to a 2,373-foot summit with views of both coasts. The trail can be muddy and steep, so a local guide from the visitor center is worth the $40 fee. Mona monkeys are commonly spotted along the route.
The oldest functioning water-powered rum distillery in the Caribbean has been making rum the same way since 1785. The overproof Rivers rum (138 proof) is sold only in Grenada because it is too strong to legally export to most countries. Tours cost about $5 and include a tasting that will make your eyes water.
A tiny sandbar surrounded by reef off the coast of Carriacou, Grenada's sister island. Water taxis from Hillsborough take 15 minutes. The snorkeling is excellent with brain coral, fan coral, and sea turtles. Bring your own food and water - there are no facilities, just sand, sea, and palm trees.
The market near the Carenage sells bags of fresh nutmeg, mace, cinnamon, turmeric, cocoa balls, and nutmeg jelly and syrup. Vendors are happy to explain the uses of each spice. Prices are a fraction of what you would pay at home, and the quality is incomparable because everything is locally grown and dried.
