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.

Royal Mount Carmel Falls

Comprised of two sublime waterfalls that plunge more than 70 feet into crystal pools. Together they make up the island's highest waterfall.

Reviewed By holoboss1 - Roseau, Caribbean

This one has easy access - 5 to 10 minutes walk on a simple trail (you don't need a guide - although at entrance there are guys offering you this service). Once there, you can enjoy quite an unusual view. Unlike most falls, this one is very wide, a straight rock block with water pouting over its top. Quite picturesque, and quite easy. and you can have a swim in pool under it. A word of caution - on a rainy day path gets muddy and slippery, keep it in mind.

Reviewed By FClin - Aberdeen, United Kingdom

Although smaller than we had expected, this cafe/shop/chocolate story venue is a really nice place to escape to,away from crowds/heat/chaos on a busy Saturday. There was free WiFi,a toilet and a variety of souvenirs on sale. The cafe served a variety of tempting treats and the chocolate brownie was to die for !

Carenage

Busy harbor in St. George.

Reviewed By susied940

It's a harbour in the middle of town and very pretty and photo-worthy, but it is also a main thoroughfare. So while looking out onto the sea and admiring the boats and yachts is brilliant the road can get busy. Shops, bars and restaurants are easy to find and its definitely worth stopping to chill and enjoy the view. We had a roti and rum punch at The Nutmeg restaurant - an old favourite - before going out on a catamaran.
