Planning your Grenada trip
Best time to go: January to April is slightly drier and cooler. Temperatures stay close to 27°C (80°F) throughout the year, and rainy-season showers seldom last more than an hour.
- St George'sExplore the natural harbour called the Carenage, Fort George and the historic Church Street district. Some buildings are run-down or remain damaged from the 2004 hurricane.
- Grand Anse BeachThis palm-lined beach is the main base for water sports. Erosion has narrowed the sand, and waves may wash over it.
- Morne Rouge BeachAlso called BBC Beach, this is a much quieter beach beyond the headland west of Grand Anse.
- Grand EtangThis crater lake and nature reserve has Mona monkeys, birds and tropical flowers. Mount Qua Qua rises above it.
Scams to watch for in Grenada
- Rounded-up US-dollar paymentsUS-dollar bills are widely accepted, but US coins are not. A business may give change in Eastern Caribbean currency or round up the bill. Rounding can leave you paying more than the stated price.
- “Duty-free” prices that are not the cheapestA “duty-free” label can make a price look like a bargain. Supermarkets in St George's and Grand Anse may sell the same goods for less. A higher price alone does not mean fraud.
