Grenada, an outdoor lovers' paradise, also boasts a unique nightlife, top-notch festivals, and the world's first underwater sculpture park. Grenada vacation rentals await.
Flavours of the Spice Island
In Grenada, make sure to try oil down, a one-pot dish made from coconut milk, meat, spices, and breadfruit. Sample creamy callaloo soup, made with coconut milk and the local dasheen leaf, and the ubiquitous Indian-inspired roti (a wrap stuffed with spicy meat).
The land of crab demands that you try crab back, baked crab flesh mixed with spices. Wash it down with some ruby-red sorrel drink, best had with a dash of white rum. Don't forget Grenada's beloved cocoa tea and nutmeg ice cream.
A history of slavery, whaling, and plantations
A good starting point is at the Grenada National Museum in the capital, St. George. Exhibits cover everything from slavery and whaling to the island's first inhabitants and early transport. Nearby is Fort Frederick, a bastion offering 360-degree views of the surrounding ocean and lush vegetation.
At Belmont Estate, a 300-year-old working plantation, tour a cocoa fermentary, sugarcane gardens, and a goat dairy, and trace the island's traditions through displays. Recommended is a guided tour through the Caribbean's oldest functioning water-powered rum distillery at River Antoine Estate.
Underwater sculptures, hikes, and dives to wreck sites
While silky Grand Anse beach is the island's most frequented, Levera Beach, Bathway, and La Sagesse attract solitary souls. There's also the Moliniere-Beauséjour Marine Protected Area, which houses the Underwater Sculpture Park. An out-of-this-world experience awaits here – admire sculptures such as Vicissitudes.
Hike to the Annandale, Royal Mt. Carmel, Concord, or Seven Sisters waterfalls, or go snorkelling (Grenada's considered the wreck dive capital of the Eastern Caribbean!). Alternatively, try your hand at some big game fishing on the area's popular deepsea charters.
