Unsurprisingly, the sea is central to many of the local activities on Grenada.
Recreation and relaxation in Grenada
Five of the best white sand beaches on the island, including the 3km long Grand Anse Beach, are just a 10 minute dinghy ride from Port Louis. The diving is unspoiled by crowds and many reefs, wrecks and coral walls have yet to be fully explored.
Fishing is also extremely popular, with Spanish mackerel, barracuda, marlin, tuna and kingfish among the catches on offer. For the serious sports fishermen, the Bill Fish tournament each January has become one of the top events in the Caribbean calendar.
For those who are looking for some land-based relaxation, there are tennis courts five minutes’ walk from Port Louis, and the Grenada Golf & Country Club has a nine-hole course near Grand Anse. There are a number of spas and beach bars all within a short dinghy ride.
No visitor to the island should leave without exploring the waterfalls of the tropical rain forest and the volcanic crater lake of the Grand Etang Forest Reserve. There are countless opportunities for hiking and walking, either with or without a guide.
