One of the Caribbean's best-preserved forts, perched 800 feet above St. George's on Richmond Hill. Built by the French in 1779 and completed by the British, this remarkable stronghold is known as the "backward-facing fort" — its cannons aimed inland rather than out to sea, a quirk of colonial strategy that makes for a fascinating storey. Wander the well-preserved ramparts, gun emplacements, and tunnels as your guide brings centuries of history to life. Then take in the sweeping panoramic views: the sparkling harbour, the colourful Carenage, Fort George, and the rolling green hills of Grenada stretching into the distance

The Caribbean’s most celebrated beaches — Grand Anse, a sweeping two-mile crescent of powdery white sand and calm, crystal-clear turquoise water. Settle into a sun lounger or beach chair (available to rent), take a refreshing dip in the sheltered bay, or simply soak up the Grenadian sunshine at your own pace. Toilets are on hand for your comfort, so there’s no need to cut your beach time short. When hunger strikes, head to a nearby local restaurant and savour fresh Caribbean flavours with the sea breeze at your back. It’s the perfect way to spend your time ashore — relaxed, unhurried, and soaking in the very best of the Spice Isle.
