Saint George's
Couples and families who want beaches plus food, history and a slower pace
Saint George's at a glance
Grenada is smaller and quieter than its neighbours, with a horseshoe harbour town of fort ruins and market stalls, and beaches that stay uncrowded even in high season. Nutmeg, cocoa and rum shape both the landscape and the food, and the interior rainforest is an easy climb from the coast.
