Quick Answer: Grenada is the Spice Isle with Grand Anse Beach (top-10 world), Concord Falls hiking, nutmeg ice cream, and the friendliest people in the Caribbean. The Carenage harbor sail-in is stunning.

Grenada: My Spice Island Paradise

The sail-in through the Carenage horseshoe harbor with colorful houses stacked up the hills is one of the prettiest in the Caribbean. My perfect day: off the ship and straight to Grand Anse Beach (quick 15-min taxi) – two miles of perfect white sand and calm water.

Lunch at Umbrellas Beach Bar – best fish roti and rum punch on the island. Afternoon is the Concord Falls hike and chocolate tour at Belmont Estate (Grenada is the "Spice Isle" – nutmeg ice cream is life). Sunset at BBC Beach with a Carib and steel pan music.

The Moment That Stays With Me: Swimming under the waterfall at Concord while a local kid cannonballed in beside me – pure joy.

Getting Around Grenada

Melville Street Cruise Terminal – 10-min walk to town. Taxis to Grand Anse are great value.

  • Grand Anse Beach: Short taxi ride (surprisingly affordable)
  • Concord Falls: 30-min drive, combine with spice tour
  • Belmont Estate: Chocolate and spice tour

Positively Worded Word of Warning

Grenada's spice-scented air and winding roads are the island's way of giving you a free aromatherapy tour with panoramic views!
