What to Do in Grenada: 10 Experiences You Shouldn’t Miss

I came to Grenada 🇬🇩 for the views, but I left completely obsessed with the experience.

From floating on crystal-clear waters to rum tastings, spice markets, waterfalls, and some of the best food on the island, Grenada gave me the kind of trip that stays with you long after you leave.

Beautiful, unspoiled, and still wildly underrated, it feels like one of the Caribbean’s best-kept secrets. If you’re planning a trip, here’s everything you need for the full Grenada experience.

1. Relax at BBC Beach and Grand Anse Beach
   These are easily some of the most beautiful beaches on the island and the perfect place to ease into Grenada’s slower pace.
2. Explore St. George’s and walk the Carenage
   The colorful capital city is full of charm, history, and waterfront views you’ll want to soak in.
3. Do a rum tasting at Pandy Beach House
   Home of Ron Beard Rum, this was one of the most fun experiences. Don’t leave without trying their famous 12 Shots of Paradise.
4. Take a clear boat cruise along the coast with Hot foot tours
   One of the best ways to experience Grenada from the water. Use code PASSION to save 15% off.
5. Visit the spice market
   Grenada is called the Spice Isle for a reason. Walking through the market and taking in all the spices is part of the experience.
6. Chase waterfalls like Annandale Falls
   A refreshing and beautiful stop that reminds you how lush the island really is.
7. Snorkel the Grenada Underwater Sculpture Park
   The world’s first underwater sculpture park and one of the most unique things to do in Grenada.
8. Eat your way through the island
   You cannot leave without trying oil down, Grenada’s national dish, along with fresh seafood and local flavors.Where I loved eating: Dexter’s Restaurant, Patrick’s Local Homestyle Cooking and Esther’s Bar for cocktails and food.

9. Visit Belmont Estate for a chocolate factory tour
   A perfect stop for chocolate lovers and anyone curious about Grenada’s cocoa history.
10. Sail the open sea with Sail Grenada
    There’s nothing like experiencing the island from the water, especially at sunset.

Bonus: Catch a sunset and, if you have extra time, take a day trip to Carriacou and the nearby islands.

Where to Stay

Mount Cinnamon Grenada
Perched on a hillside overlooking Grand Anse Beach, Mount Cinnamon is the kind of property that makes you want to do absolutely nothing except sit on your terrace and stare at the Caribbean Sea. Intimate, beautifully designed and warm in a way that never feels like a hotel stay. You feel like a guest in someone’s stunning home and that feeling stays with you long after checkout.

Prickly Bay Marina
For a more laid back, nautical vibe, Prickly Bay Marina delivers in the best way. It sits right on the water, the energy is lively and social and it is the perfect base if you love being surrounded by boats, good food and an easygoing crowd. A completely different feel from a traditional resort and honestly refreshing for it. 

Thank you to The Grenada Tourism Board for such an unforgettable experience. Some places stay with you long after you leave, and Grenada is one of them.
