Esther's tropical beach bar is perfection of a true barista. It is a MUST for any visit to the picturesque Grand Anse beach on the quaint spice island of Grenada. The wide range of cocktails and drinks at reasonable prices added to the beach ambiance leaves only pleasurable memories.

Morne Rouge

Beautiful half-mile crescent with calm water that makes for excellent swimming.

Reviewed By kalis43 - Annapolis, United States

Known locally as BBC Beach, this is a great spot to stretch out and relax. Lounge chairs in sun or shade were available for rent for about five bucks. The water was very calm and clear for swimming but not good for snorkeling. Restrooms and a local bar right there, near Sur La Mar hotel. Natives selling clothes and jewelry but they don’t intrude. Only problem: a booze cruise boat came and unloaded a crowd, but they only stayed for about an hour. Windstar was docked in the harbor at Saint Georges so we had to take a $25 taxi ride to and from the beach, which is the same price to go to any of the other beaches. I understand that some of the cruise ships dock in a different area near the water taxi which is much less expensive. We stopped to see Grand Anse and didn’t like it, no charm, just big. It’s all in what you’re looking for. If what you want is a quiet relaxing beautiful beach with more locals than tourists,,?you’re at the right spot.

La Sagesse Nature Center

An informal 10-room country house next to a tranquil, Atlantic-side beach.

Reviewed By tracih575

Loved this beach. There is also a restaurant, bar and rooms here. Beach is public. Nice soft sand, clear water, good and safe swimming. Nice to walk beach. On far end is a pond where birds can be seen. Unfortunately it is being destroyed. A hotel will be built there. Now they are bulldozing all the land and trees and plants around and will fill in pond-so these birds will be displaced. What a tragedy! Very, very sad! Not to mention the erosion and how this will affect the water quality of the beach. I hope more of Grenada does not succumb to this.

Levera Beach

An important waterfowl habitat and sea turtle nesting site near Bathways beach.

Reviewed By Barton21

Levera Beach is roughly a 15-20 minute walk of 5 minute drive north of Bathway Beach. While Bathway Beach seems to be more popular, Levera Beach is prettier and a lot less busy. The afternoon I visited, there were just half a dozen kids splashing in the surf. The rest of the beach was essentially empty, except for the guard who watches sleepily from his small hut on the beach. Unlike Bathway Beach, there are no vendors at Levera Beach, so you'll need to bring your own food and drinks. A short distance off shore are Sugar Loaf island, Green island, and Sandy island. They make a beautiful backdrop and seem to provide some shelter from the powerful Atlantic surf. I didn't go in when I was there, but the water did look calm enough to swim there.

Sandy Island

A small beach island known for its snorkeling.

Reviewed By mattmX4628UL

My wife and I had the opportunity to visit this island with the sailing trip we were on. It looks like something out of a movie set with the white sandy beaches and palm trees lined along the length of the island. The snorkeling was wonderful. While we drifted beyond the northern tip of the island toward the beach, we saw many varieties of fish (with some in large schools) along with stingrays, a spotted eel, many varieties of coral, and many different plants. We spent the rest of the morning relaxing in the clear water and on the beach. The area is not very large so relaxing and snorkeling are about the only options you have. This is a national park so you are not allowed to take anything from the premises.

Petite Martinique

Reviewed By torej853 - Lysekil, Sweden

Palm Beach restaurant is a little gem. Friendly, low prices and superb cooking - and fast. Sit outside under small a small roof on the grass lawn and watch the ocean as the sun sets with a Pina Colada. The lobster bisque and the lobster Creol are very good and so was the grilled fish. This whole small island is friendly and do your provisioning of food, wine and beer to significantly lower prices than normal in The Caribeans.

I bought a t-shirt and a lovely clutch that had been handpainted. There were several nice little treasures for gifts or souvenirs at this shop and some very nice paintings, local art.
