Planning a Grenada Trip: What to Know
Grenada, the Spice Isle, gets overlooked next to bigger names like Jamaica or Barbados, and that's part of its appeal: fewer crowds, a genuinely lush interior, and a pace that isn't built entirely around tourism. Our planner is set up to balance beach time with the parts of Grenada that don't show up on a typical resort itinerary.
Five to six days is a good length. Grand Anse Beach, just outside the capital St. George's, is the obvious anchor and worth more than one visit. Pair it with a day inland toward Grand Etang National Park and the rainforest, where waterfalls and hiking trails make a solid contrast to beach days.
If diving interests you, the underwater sculpture park off Molinere Bay is one of the few attractions of its kind in the Caribbean and worth building a day around. Consider a day trip to Carriacou if you have the time; it's a slower, less developed version of Grenada itself. Dry season runs January through May.
