Unexplored Destination

Grenada will charm you with its classic Caribbean beauty. Beautiful beaches are bordered by frangipani and other flamboyant trees, and there are lushly-covered mountains, rainforests, plantations, and colorful seaside communities that make for excellent photo opportunities. The capital of Grenada, St. George's, is one of the most picturesque cities in the Caribbean, with a bustling waterfront filled with yachts. In Grenada, you can even go island hopping; the less populated Carriacou and Petite Martinique are located off the northeast coast of the country.

Grand Anse Beach, one of the nicest beaches in the Caribbean, is where most visitors spend their time, but Grenada has more to offer than just lazing on the island's golden sands. Morne Rouge Bay, which is smaller and calmer (though the beaches here are all very quiet), is another famous beach and is confusingly referred to as BBC after a long-gone beach club. The heart of the island is home to waterfalls, hiking trails that wind through the lush rainforest, and coral reefs that are perfect for swimming, diving, snorkeling, and fishing surround its coastline.

Petite Martinique, located five kilometers to the northeast of Carriacou, is just as stunning and much more tranquil than its neighbor. There are only a few guesthouses and family-run restaurants here, making it a true island hideaway, but there is still a lot of local flavor. Numerous boaters make this stop to eat at one of the island's eateries or trek up the piton, the island's highest hill, for breathtaking views.
