With its subdued cityscape and lack of obtrusive, commercial complexes, you’re likely to bed down in one of the charming inns along the Grand Anse. Here you can feast on guava, June plum, and stuffed breadfruit while tickling your tummy with the sizzle of nutmeg-sprinkled rum punch. Visit the River Sallee boiling springs before cooling off with a ginger beer on Pink Gin Beach.

For an intriguing, unified experience, explore Moliniere Point - home to the world’s first underwater sculpture park. The feature installation is a captivating construct of 28 life-sized children joining palms, anchored to the exquisite seabed below. When the sultry night comes a’calling, head on over to Morne Rouge Bay for a hot serving of soca and calypso beats (think of yourself as the French folktale heroine La Diablesse, the impeccably-dressed she-devil while you bust-a-move).

These islands consist of stony forts and hilly topography - a-blaze with firey oranges and cool greens. The lifeblood of Grenadian culture thrums with an array of Creole, African, Indian, and French Patois influence. A sugary-spiced atmosphere inspires both sweet and curried cuisine, as well as an unrivaled, laid-back state of mind. The balmy air is undeniably infused with cloves, cinnamon, and ginger, while the shores boast such unique pleasantries as coca, mona monkeys, and callaloo leaves.

Get a delicious case of the dizzies with a trip to Mount Carmel Waterfall, a hazy tumbling spray of audacious aqua, careening from a summit over 70 feet high.

Prehistoric-like Grand Etang, a marvelous crater lake above sea level, is a hot traveler’s must-see highlight, as well as a trek into the tropical foliage of the Grand Etang National Park.

Constructed by the French back in the good old 18th century, Fort George is a notable site to explore. Here you’ll find tunnels dug by soldiers past in an effort to create the ultimate ammunition hideaway. Experience the melodrama of Carib’s Leap, north of Sauteurs, with a vast vertical descent deep into true-blue ocean. Yacht to your heart’s content on the neighboring effusive waters, or snorkel off of the 600-foot wreck of the sunken cruise liner, Bianca.

Jump out of bed like a pair of early-lovebirds to check out the fine, fresh fare of Fish Friday in the fishing village of Gouyave. A restaurant in Grenada can be as simple as the porch of a local’s home, opened up just in time for lunch, where you can sample the delicacy of traditional story telling over a plate of tender baby back ribs, coconut coated shrimp, and golden-apple barbecue sauce. A Grenadian spring pulses with the rhythms of its drum festival, while the summers swirl with regattas and wind-swept dances.

Catch a match of cricket or visit The Carenage, St. George’s picturesque harbor, as ferry boats come in to dock and lovers converse at waterfront cafés. The Saturday Market is the perfect pit-stop for Grenadian coastal gems – coconuts, plantains, watermelons, jams and jellies, baskets, rag dolls, and batik textiles all color this wondrous, mercantile landscape. See how Grenada’s market wares skillfully come about with a trip to the Dougaldston Spice Plantation, or the River Antoine Rum Distillery.
