Grenada Beaches and Waterfalls

Grenada is full of treats. Heady with aromatic spices like nutmeg and cinnamon, the coast is pretty picture postcard gorgeousness with pristine beaches whilst its mountainous interior is covered in rich lush rainforest and gives rise to lakes, rivers and falls.

Grenada Beaches

For the real taste of paradise, Grenada’s beaches have plenty of competition with about 45 around its coastline. Grand Anse is widely acknowledged to be the best, a 2 mile stretch of blindingly white sand and lapis lazuli waters that have a real wow factor. Even though Grand Anse is never crowded, Morne Rouge and Pink Gin Beach, amongst many, have a Robinson Crusoe, only footprints in the sand, quality whilst Levera Beach with its lagoon has the stunning view of Sugarloaf Island. Your only company here is likely to be a turtle rather than other humans.

For escaping the heat of Grenada’s beaches, there’s the crystal clear Caribbean Sea waters, but taking a trip inland to the waterfalls and rivers that cut their way through rainforest covered mountains is an exhilarating experience.

Grenada’s Waterfalls

Best avoided on days the leisure liners cruise into St. George’s, the jewel in the crown of Grenada’s waterfalls is Annandale Falls. With Mother Nature at her best, here 9 metres of foamy sparkling water cascades between rock faces littered with ferns and orchids into a beautiful plunge pool. Pushing a close second in the stunning stakes is Seven Sisters Falls reached via the beauteous scenery of Grand Etang National Park with the magnificent volcano and lake filled crater. For those who enjoy hiking, trails lead to the triple cascade of Concorde Falls, the highest falls at Mt. Carmel and but it’s a 3 mile trek to reach the Tufton Hall Waterfall. Reaching some of Grenada’s waterfalls is not for the fainthearted but they sure provide adventure.
