Need Help With What To Do In Grenada Please

[mosaic45]

Looking for some ideas on what to do on Grenada. Possible resort to relax on the beach and rent water sport equipment. Maybe parasailing banana boat etc. Has anyone had experience with this? Your help is appreciated.

All beaches in Grenada are public property, so everything is accessible. The best-known beach is probably Grand Anse but I have heard it can be a little crowded. There are plenty of watersport facilities there though. I stayed at the Rex Grenadian for a week and their beach was fine, not too many braiders hassling you although they do hang out near the watersports equipment building.

 

If you are interested in renting kayaks, I believe the Aquarium restaurant still has them. This is down at Point Salines near the airport, and the restaurant is beautiful and has good food. Unfortunately you will find a lot of the beaches in Grenada are very narrow due to the hurricanes.

 

There is some good information here:

I have to disagree here, when Hurricane Ivan struck it was not accompanied by a significant sea swell thus did little damage to the beaches beyond blowing over some of the palm trees so there is not so much shaded area.

I would not describe beaches like Grand Anse as narrow. This beach is 2 miles long and the only place it gets crowded is the area around the Vendors Market because that is where most of the visitors on cruise ships congregate. Take a walk along the beach a little way and you will have plenty of space.

However if you do want a banana boat ride these go from the vendors market, naturally enough these activiyies operate from where there are the greatest number of potential customers.

I had meant in terms of depth, and my experience on Grenada was that the beach was narrow. I didn't go to Grand Anse, though.

Then you certainly missed out. Grand Anse has plenty of space from the back to the waterline and is beautiful white sand.

As a matter of interest which beaches did you visit?

If I knew the names I would tell you, but unfortunately I don't remember! It was a couple of years ago.

Did you get out and about and see any of the sights?
