St. George's sits on a volcanic hillside on Grenada's southwestern coast, its harbor divided into two sections by a promontory. The Carenage forms an inner harbor where fishing boats dock and warehouses line the waterfront. Fort George, constructed by the French in 1705, occupies the promontory's tip and contains the Royal Grenada Police Force headquarters. The fort offers views across the harbor to the town's tiered streets. The Grenada National Museum operates in former French barracks dating to 1704 on Young Street, displaying artifacts from indigenous Kalinago settlements, the plantation economy, and the 1983 U.S. intervention. St. George's Anglican Church, built in 1825, stands on Church Street. St. George's Roman Catholic Cathedral, constructed between 1818 and 1884, features a tower visible from the harbor. The market square on Granby Street operates daily with produce stalls and increases activity on Saturday mornings.
Grand Anse Beach extends for three kilometers along Grenada's southwestern coast south of St. George's. The beach consists of white sand with gradual entry to Caribbean waters. Public access exists along the entire length. Morne Rouge Bay, also called BBC Beach, sits one kilometer south around a headland and measures roughly 400 meters in length with calmer water conditions than Grand Anse.
Grand Etang National Park covers 3,800 hectares in Grenada's mountainous interior. Grand Etang Lake fills a volcanic crater at 530 meters elevation, measuring approximately 200 meters in diameter. The crater formed roughly 12,000 years ago. Trails from the visitor center circle the lake and extend to Mount Qua Qua. Mount St. Catherine, Grenada's highest point at 840 meters, requires a guided ascent beginning from the northern approach road. The park contains mona monkeys introduced from Africa in the 18th century, now established throughout Grenada's forests. Nine-banded armadillos inhabit the forest floor. Annandale Falls drops 10 meters into a pool at the park's southern boundary, accessible by a 15-minute walk from the main road. Concord Falls consists of three cascades, the first easily reached by paved path, the second and third requiring guided hikes of one and three hours respectively. Seven Sisters Falls comprises seven distinct cascades in the island's interior, reached by approximately 90 minutes of hiking through private cocoa estates.
Levera National Park occupies Grenada's northeastern peninsula. Levera Beach extends for 2.5 kilometers with Atlantic-facing exposure. Leatherback sea turtles nest here between April and August. Hawksbill and green turtles also nest in smaller numbers. Levera Pond, a coastal lagoon, provides habitat for migratory waterfowl. Sugar Loaf Island and Green Island sit offshore within the park boundaries. Bathway Beach on the Atlantic coast north of Grenville has a natural rock reef that reduces wave energy in a swimming area.
The Molinere Underwater Sculpture Park sits in 3 to 8 meters of water off Grenada's western coast near St. George's. British sculptor Jason deCaires Taylor installed 65 concrete sculptures on the seafloor in 2006. The site serves as an artificial reef and attracts parrotfish, sergeant majors, and other Caribbean reef species. Access requires boat transport and snorkeling or scuba equipment.
River Antoine Rum Distillery in Grenville operates with water-wheel powered cane crushing equipment installed in 1785. The facility produces Rivers Rum at 75 percent alcohol by volume using pot stills. The water wheel draws from the river. Tours show the crushing process, fermentation vats, and distillation. Production occurs during the sugarcane harvest between February and June.
Belmont Estate in St. Patrick Parish operates as a working plantation on land granted in 1664. The estate cultivates cocoa using traditional sun-drying methods. Tours explain cocoa processing from pod harvest through fermentation, drying, and sorting. The estate also produces nutmeg, mace, and various tropical fruits. A restaurant serves lunch. Goats, chickens, and gardens occupy the grounds.
Gouyave on Grenada's northwestern coast functions as the island's primary nutmeg processing center. The Gouyave Nutmeg Processing Cooperative operates a facility where workers sort, grade, and pack nutmeg and mace. Visitors can tour the facility on weekdays to observe manual sorting and the traditional methods still employed. Gouyave hosts Fisherman's Birthday on June 29, celebrating the Catholic feast of Saints Peter and Paul, the patron saints of fishermen. The event features fish preparation competitions and local food.
Grenada produces approximately one-third of the world's nutmeg supply, though Hurricane Ivan in September 2004 destroyed an estimated 90 percent of nutmeg trees. The trees require 7 to 10 years from planting to first harvest and 20 years for full production. Recovery remains ongoing. The Grenada Cooperative Nutmeg Association handles export. Nutmeg trees grow throughout the island, and dried nutmeg and mace are sold in markets and roadside stands.
