Grenada’s Top 10 Beaches

One step onto the white sandy beach and it’s easy to see why Grand Anse has the reputation of being one of the best beaches in Grenada, and the world! Caribbean blue waters lap on the beach, with coconut palms dotted on its shoreline, it definitely looks like something out of an advertisement. Grand Anse is actually the longest beach on the island, but is still easy enough to walk the entire length. There are lots of restaurants, bars, and resorts along the beach, which makes it one of the more crowded beaches. When a cruise ship is in town - expect to see tons of beach chairs and umbrellas set up with most of the ship lounging with their umbrella drinks. It’s definitely the most popular, most accessible, and one of the prettiest beaches for sure. Don’t believe me? Check out some pics - they’re sure to blow your socks off! 

Located at the far north side of the island, Sauters is a little town away from the metropolis of the resorts and capital. From St. George’s, it is probably a 2 hour drive (if you’re driving straight there). We took the day to drive up the island and stop along the way, and it was a great place to stop for sunset! To be completely honest, I don’t know if the beach has a specific name or not, but there is a tire swing and some gorgeous views of the little islands around! There’s a little bar there called Da Real Bamboo Bar across the street - for all your beach cocktails or beers! The tire swing is lots of fun - it really brings out the kid in you, and let’s be honest, the Instagram shots are adorable! This beach is different than other beaches on the island. It’s one of those Insta-worthy spots for sure, but the journey to get to the northern end of the island to get to the beach is really what makes it one of the best beaches in Grenada. I would suggest road-tripping with friends to many different spots along the way to the beach. That will really solidify that it’s not the destination, but the journey that matters! Definitely a gorgeous beach to check out, and a fun road trip to be had if you’ve got the time. If you don’t have time for a full day road trip - make sure to add it to your list for next time! 

This beach goes by a few names, but Groom’s Beach is the most common one that you’ll hear if you’re hopping around the island. Tucked away down a little street, you can definitely miss it if you don’t know where you’re going. In fact, as far as I know, it’s actually situated behind private property, but the beach is often used for events. (Ask a tour guide or taxi driver about it before you venture there on your own!) That being said, it is a gorgeous, protected little beach with shady palms to rest underneath. It’s got gorgeous blue waters that lap over submerged rocks at the shoreline. If you decide to hop in the ocean, be careful of the rocks! The rocks can be slick and can hide under the sea’s waves. Groom’s  is one of the best beaches in Grenada because of its seclusion and little sliver of paradise. Not many places offer that kind of privacy nowadays, so it’s really nice to get a beach all to yourself! 

Located on the east side of the island, you’ll have to travel pretty far north to get to Bathway Beach. A local’s hangout, you’ll experience a different side to Grenada than down on Grand Anse. There are some permanent umbrellas perfect for a picnic, gorgeous shoreline, and views of little islands off the shore. In some light - the beach even appears to be a black sand beach (probably from that titanium, but it could be some volcanic sand as well). There’s not a whole lot in the area, so bring snacks and a cooler, but it’s definitely a beach to stop at on the way around the island! If you decide to do that road trip, make sure to stop at Bathway Beach! It’s also pretty close to the Sulphur Springs, the River Antoine Rum Distillery, and the Belmont Estate! 

Probably the least accessible of the 10 beaches listed here, but definitely one you don’t want to miss if you can make it! Try and head there on a Sunday Afternoon, where the local yachties and cruisers go to listen to live music and drink strong rum from the little beach bar. It’s cash only, so make sure you bring your cash or your own drinks. There are lots of grills and picnic tables, and everyone comes together to share what they are cooking! The downside to this beach? It’s only accessible by boat. You’ll see lots of dinghies tied up to or anchored on the shore, but fret not! If you don’t have access to a dinghy, there is a water taxi that runs from Secret Harbor Marina. There’s lots of vegetation for shade, calm shallow waters, conch shells, and is a perfect place to bring a pup if you have one! There will definitely be plenty of friends and memories to be made on Hog Island, especially on a Sunday evening watching the sun melt below the mountains!
