Freediving and Other Things to do in Grenada
Imagine stepping onto an island filled with lush rainforests, stunning waterfalls, and pristine beaches, where the warm sun greets you, and the vibrant culture invites you to explore. Grenada, often referred to as the Spice Island, offers a unique blend of natural beauty and welcoming locals who make every visitor feel right at home. From breathtaking dives to local culinary delights, Grenada is a treasure trove of experiences waiting to be discovered.
Here are some top attractions you won’t want to miss:
This beautiful, two-mile stretch of soft, white sand and calm, crystal-clear waters is the epitome of a tropical paradise. It’s the perfect spot to relax and recharge, with breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains and St. George, Grenada’s capital. Plus, you can easily access numerous restaurants, bars, dive shops, and hotels nearby. We recommend the Radisson Beach Resort, conveniently located right on Grand Anse Beach.
A must-visit! This intermediate hike takes you to a series of seven stunning waterfalls located on private property. For a small fee of about $2, you can access the site and choose to hire a local guide if you want to explore all seven. Be prepared for a bit of mud if you go during the rainy season, and definitely wear water shoes or sneakers. Don’t forget to take advantage of the walking sticks offered on-site!
Underwater Sculpture Park
Visit the world’s first underwater sculpture park, designed by Jason deCaires Taylor and established in 2006. Scattered just off Grenada’s west coast, you’ll find fascinating pieces like “Christ of the Deep,” “The Vicissitudes,” and many more. The sculptures sit 3-5 meters underwater and are perfect for freediving, snorkeling, or scuba diving. We had an amazing experience with Eco Dive Grenada, which is conveniently located right on Grand Anse Beach.
St. George’s
The colorful capital of Grenada, St. George’s boasts charming colonial architecture and a picturesque harbor. We took a maxi taxi into town for just $1, joining locals in a fun ride filled with reggae music and stunning views along the way.
Dodgy Dock- Wednesday Night
If you’re looking to taste local cuisine and soak in the atmosphere, head to Dodgy Dock Restaurant & Bar on Wednesday nights for street food night. This event at True Blue Bay Boutique Resort is popular with both locals and tourists, so reservations are recommended. You purchase tickets at the entrance and pay the food vendors with those tickets. We found ten tickets to be plenty for dinner and dessert, and enjoyed live music from Grenada’s top bands while sampling delicious local dishes like oil down.
Grand Etang Lake
Located within the Grand Etang Rainforest, this stunning crater lake was formed by an extinct volcano and sits 1,730 feet above sea level. It spans approximately 36 acres and is about 20 feet deep. Guided tours are available, and there are beautiful trails around the lake for those eager to explore. On our visit, we were lucky enough to spot Mona Monkeys!
Clarke’s Court Rum Distillery
Grenada’s largest distillery has been in operation since 1937. A friendly tour guide will walk you through the rum-making process and share the fascinating history of Clarke’s Court. After the brief tour, you’ll have the chance to sample some of the delicious liquors produced on-site.
