Cruise Diva Goes Ashore in the Caribbean
Sights to see & things to do
Grenada
One of the most delightful ports in the West Indies, St. George’s charming Georgian colonial building are set off by frangipani and other colorful flowering trees. Aside from the wonderful aroma of spices that fills the air, Grenada’s greatest appeal is her lush tropical scenery.
Diversions
Touring the island’s scenic interior is a must-do on Grenada. Either book a ship’s excursion or hire a taxi driver as a guide to see the luxurious rain forest, a nutmeg-processing station, and the island’s forts.
North of St. George’s and at the edge of Grand Etang National Park and Forest Reserve, Annandale Falls is a wonderland of tropical flora and spices, capped by the 50-foot high waterfall. Take advantage of complimentary changing rooms and enjoy a refreshing swim.
Shopping
Don’t look for duty-free prices here on luxury imports. Instead, shop for the freshest spices and local arts and crafts. Some of the world’s most exotic and unusual perfumes are also produced on Grenada.
Beaches
Grand Anse Beach is one of the finest in the Caribbean with two miles of sugary white sand. Located within walking distance of Grenada’s best resorts, it is only a ten-minute taxi ride from port. However, the best way to reach Grand Anse Beach, and see a bit of the harbor as well, is by water taxi.
