The Welcome Stone
Welcome Stone, which overlooks the Levera National Park, is one of the greatest spots to admire Grenada’s gorgeous and stunning coastline. Welcome Stone is located at Rose Hill, St. Patrick, Grenada, about an hour north of St. George’s. When you arrive at Rose Hill, you walk up a very steep virtually vertical concrete road for about 10 minutes before descending through some shrubs on the left via a little construction site for another 10 minutes, where you are rewarded with beautiful views of Levera National Park.
The 450-acre Levera National Park, which features a big lagoon and massive mangrove swamp, is home to a variety of unusual bird species, including herons and black-necked stilts. On a beautiful day, Welcome Stone offers views of nine different islands, including Sugar Loaf Island, Green Island, Sandy Island, London Bridge, Ronde Island, Caille Island, Diamond Island, Les Tantes Island, and Carriacou. So worth the trip from the city!
Underwater Sculpture Park
Jason deCaires Taylor, a British sculptor, built the Molinere Underwater Sculpture Park, a collection of sustainable underwater modern art located in the Caribbean Ocean off the west coast of Grenada, West Indies. In May 2006, the world’s first underwater sculpture park opened to the public. Taylor’s goal was to connect locals with the aquatic world that surrounds them through his works, which are based on life casts of the local community. He placed cement figures on the ocean floor, most of which were human forms, ranging from solitary individuals to a ring of children holding hands and facing into the oceanic currents.
Grand Anse Beach
Grenada boasts many gorgeous beaches along its coastline, including the 3 km long Grand Anse Beach near St George, which is regarded as one of the best beaches in the world and frequently features on lists of the world’s top 10 beaches.
You may get to the beach via vehicle, minibus, or water taxi. You are free to explore the beach at any time, day or night.
Clabony Sulphur Springs
Clabony Sulphur Springs
Clabony Sulphur Springs, located north of Grand Etang, is a pleasant area to unwind and rejuvenate while enjoying the magnificent hot springs.
To reach these springs north of Grand Etang, take a 4×4 jeep through banana and nutmeg fields over Mirabeau Estate.
The spring is the most accessible of several natural, warm, sulphur springs concealed among the vegetation.
The waist-deep water is transparent and smells surprisingly good until you agitate the bottom with your feet. It is highly advised that travelers hire a guide.
St. George’s University
St. George’s University is a private international university in Grenada, West Indies, that offers programs in medicine, veterinary medicine, public health, health sciences, nursing, arts and sciences, and business.
On July 23, 1976, the Grenada parliament passed an act establishing St. George’s University.
The University owns 65 buildings on 42 acres of land stretched on a peninsula in the southwest corner of Grenada, in the West Indies. A large campus expansion began in the early 1990s, yielding 52 new buildings. The buildings’ architecture is Georgian.

Fort George
Fort George, which towers 175 feet above St. George’s Harbour, is not only the oldest but also the most prominent fort on the island, having always served as a focal point as Grenada’s political and military landscapes changed.
Fort George, which dates back to the 1600s when Grenada was still a French possession, was originally named Fort Royal.
Fort Royal was designed by Francois Blondel in 1666 and erected the following year as a battery with commanding views of the Carenage, the island’s major port of entry, and La Ville du Fort Royal (now St. George’s), the island’s economic, political, and social heart.

Lake Antoine
Lake Antoine
Lake Antoine is a lake found in Saint Patrick, Grenada.
Lake Antoine, a tiny crater lake in an extinct volcano, is home to an abundance of fauna.
It is possible to stroll down from the car park to the lake’s edge to have a better look at the magnificent birdlife, however the surrounding trail is no longer maintained and is largely inaccessible.
The lake is accessible via a designated road approximately a mile north of River Antoine.
Carib's Leap
Carib’s Leap near Sauteurs is one of Grenada’s most historically significant sites. While the city offers many attractions, the cliff is unquestionably the centerpiece.
The view from the top of the cliff is breathtaking. Only the deep blue waves that embrace the coast can match the magnificence of the luscious greens. The spectacular blue skies and white clouds round off the scenery.
Climbing from a height of 40 meters is not difficult. Aside from admiring the scenery, you can take photographs of the rocks and the neighboring river.
Carib’s Leap in Sauteurs got its name after the last of the Native Americans plunged over the cliff in 1651 rather than surrender to the French. The name of the town translates to “jumpers” in French. The Dominican Fathers erected a grotto in 1664 to commemorate those who died. A short time later, St Patrick’s Church was founded.
Fort George
Fort Frederick
The French established Fort Frederick to maintain their position after successfully capturing the island from the British in 1779.
The French had surprised the British (who had expected a naval invasion) by attacking from inland. To avoid being caught off guard in the same way, the French built Fort Frederick with cannons facing inland rather than out to sea, earning it the nickname “Backwards-facing fort.”
Fort Frederick is easily accessible, located approximately 2 kilometers from the center of St. George’s, albeit very, very hilly.
Mt. Carmel Waterfall
This privately owned waterfall is the largest on the island and is a must-see for everyone who appreciates breathtaking scenery. A sheer cliff and misty white seas surrounded by tropical flora attract everyone nearby with a steady low rumble.
This is an amazing sight. The waterfall, surrounded by deep forest, is hidden as you approach, but you can hear it before seeing it. Finally, between the trees, there is a 70-foot-tall rock wall with an equally tall torrent of misty white water flowing from it. The sight of sitting by the falls, surrounded by a wonderland of native spice and fruit plants, is both humbling and restful.
Seven Sisters Falls
If you enjoy hiking and are planning a trip through the rain forest, you should include Seven Sisters Falls on your itinerary.
This is not a challenging climb, and it will take you through a private plantation where you can observe cocoa, nutmeg, and banana plants and how they are grown. The journey to the falls is only 45 minutes long and takes you through a portion of the rainforest. If it has just rained, the trail may get muddy, so wear something you are not especially fond of. Of course, muddy trails make for a lot more fun. Don’t worry, once you reach the falls, you’ll be able to wash part of the path off your shoes.
Once you arrive, you can swim or rest by the water. The pools at the foot of the falls are rather large, and swimming is particularly relaxing due to the chilly water. Don’t forget the journey back to civilization.
Chocolate Factory, Grenada
Grenada is renowned as the Spice Island of the Caribbean due to its production of nutmeg and mace, but with an expanding number of bean-to-bar chocolate makers, the island is on its way to being the Caribbean’s chocolate capital and one of the world’s greatest chocolate producers.
Grand Etang Lake
Grand Etang Lake is a natural water-filled crater from one of Grenada’s extinct volcanoes. The rainforest around the lake is home to an astonishingly diverse range of vegetation and fauna. Colorful tropical birds, tiny frogs and lizards, and rare orchids dot the lush rainforest flora, and pathways wind around the area’s breathtaking waterfalls and the turquoise waters of Grand Etang Lake.
