Three Best Beaches

Morne Rouge Beach

Morne Rouge Beach in Grenada is a must see. We happened upon Morne Rouge while investigating Grand Anse Beach. We were told that Morne Rouge was well worth a visit. Boy, were they right. The water here is so clear - you'll be able to see bottom when you're up to your neck. That's cool.

Located south of the best beach on Grenada, but not to be overlooked, Morne Rouge Beach is smaller. Since the cove is not as open as Grand Anse Beach, the water is calmer. This beautiful Caribbean spectacle is also more secluded (read romantic).

With only one hotel on the beach, you’ll find Morne Rouge Beach great for getting that book read while taking in the rays, or just relaxing in the Grenadian sunshine.

Because of the smaller than usual cove, Morne Rouge Beach bay is somewhat shallower than other beaches. As a result, the water here is always slightly warmer.

Taking the kids? This is the ideal beach for families because of the fact that it is shallower, warmer, and mostly calm. As a matter of fact, so calm on many days you can see right to the bottom with crystal clear waters.

But what about that romantic quip? Morne Rouge Beach is big enough for families and couples, but small enough to make all the other factors happen as well (warm, calm water).

Take in the ocean and the beautiful Grenadian hillsides as you enjoy your time on the island. This is one stop you will remember for years to come.

Grand Anse Beach - The Best Beach

Our selection of Best Beach in Grenada is based on ease of location, condition of the beach and surrounding area, and facilities. Grand Anse Beach has it all. Pure gold sand, as if you could take it away when the sun shines down. When you come to Grenada, make your way here at least one day.

Stretching for miles, two, in fact, Grand Anse Beach is the spectacular golden beach you see when looking through a brochure or website on Grenada. Grand Anse Beach has everything - from shops (if someone in your party gets tired of laying or playing in the sun) to eateries.

You can spend some time just soaking in the Grenadian way of life by starting at one end and walking slowly to the other end. Before you begin, remind yourself that you are here to relax and that you are going to take it all in: the birds chirping, the sound of the tires on the paved street near by (well, scratch that if you'd like), the gentle Caribbean wind whispering through the palm fronds above you, the din of the local radio playing through the shops and restaurants along the beach, the smell of the ocean, the glimmer of the sun as it touches your skin, the sound of children playing... and on and on. Are you there, yet?

Grand Anse Beach is it, with dive shops complete with snorkel gear, windsurf rental (though there is not much wind on this side of the island) and water sports. And, you can arrive by water taxi. How chic!

But the facilities don't make the beach - the view does. And Grand Anse Beach won't let you down. Pristine sand with gentle lapping waves makes for unbelievable clear water. Hugged by the surrounding mountains and coconut palms, and a view to the sea that is breathtaking means you won't want to pass up at least a full day at what many call the Caribbeans' number one beach.
