Top Tourist Attractions in Grenada
St. Georges
It is the capital of Grenada, located on the west coast of the country, in a picturesque bay. The city was built by the French in 1650. It is located on the slope of an extinct volcano, surrounded by a tropical forest and a snow-white beach. During its existence, the city burned down 8 times, so the authorities adopted a law, because of which there are no buildings in the city higher than the tops of palm trees. This makes St. Georges even more charming.
Grand Anse Beach
This is a quiet beach for privacy with the ocean. Five kilometers of its snow-white sand are separated from the hustle and bustle by formidable rocks. To get to the beach, you need to drive 4 km by bike or walk. Then you can enjoy the waves, sit in a quiet restaurant and calmly soak up the sun. There is no infrastructure on the beach, but it is clean and safe. Palm trees save tourists from the heat.
Seven Sisters Waterfall
The waterfall is located in the Grand Etan National Park. It got its name because of the number of cascades: it has seven of them. It is located in the center of the island, to get to it, you need to walk a hiking trail through a beautiful tropical forest. Along the way, you can see how bananas, cocoa, nutmeg grow. And after a 45-minute walk, tourists enjoy a refreshing dip in the waterfall.

Would you like to dive into the Caribbean’s longest swimming pool?
Silversands is a hip newcomer on the Grenada beach scene with beautifully designed, slick interiors.
The resort’s centrepiece is the ribbon-like pool that draws your eyes down to the sea and is framed by inviting four-poster day beds and palm trees. And at the end of the island’s longest pool, you have the island’s most popular – and one of its most beautiful – beaches, Grand Anse.
The saltwater pool is an impressive 100 metres long, although if you can tear yourself away from your sunbed the spa is equally impressive and includes a private pool, complementary yoga and quartz bed therapies.
