Ins & Outs of Grenada

SIGHTSEEING  55 INS This is where the action is. St George is home to Grenada’s capital, St George’s, the Maurice Bishop International Airport, and the famous Grand Anse Beach. St. George St. George’s The bustling centre of government, commerce and the main sea port, the picturesque town is steeped in history, with colourful Georgian architecture dotted along the dramatic hillside that rises up from the seafront. Top Attractions in St. George’s Fort George Towering above the town with imposing cast-iron cannons pointing out to sea, this former French fortress dating back to the 1600s, has witnessed many historic and political struggles. The views over the Carenage and outer harbour are worth the climb. Market Square A full on sensory experience. See Grenada’s finest produce brought in from all over the island - fragrant spices, fresh fruits and vegetables, all amidst the noise and bustle of the town’s main square. Carenage Wooden schooners dock alongside modern fishing vessels along this picturesque harbour. Converted warehouses and businesses in a patchwork of Georgian architecture flank the seafront promenade. Sendall Tunnel A vital thoroughfare connecting the two sides of St George’s, this historic 105m (340 foot) tunnel was completed in 1895. Christ the Deep With arms outstretched and facing the sea, this life-size bronze statue was gifted to the people of Grenada by Costa Steamship Line, in gratitude for their assistance in rescuing passengers when the Bianca C sank in 1961. The wider Grand Anse area is home to many of the island’s hotels, restaurants and shopping centres. But it doesn’t take long for the developed south west coastline to give way to dramatic mountains with easily accessible waterfalls and rainforest trails to explore.
