Fortunately for everyone, Grand Anse Beach is just a few minutes from the Maurice Bishop Airport in Grenada!
Before we get into the intricate details of what makes this beach so amazing, let's talk a little about Grenada - the Island of Spice. This gem is located in the southern Caribbean near St. Vincent and Trinidad and Tobago.
Three main islands make up the territory of Grenada: Grenada, Carriacou, and Petit Martinique. Interestingly, Carriacou and Petit Martinique are the only islands in the Grenadines, a nearby chain of islands, that fall under the boundaries of Grenada. The other islands fall under the boundaries of
Grenada is also known for its amazing beaches, and Grand Anse Beach is one of its most beautiful. Grand Anse Beach is located in Saint George Parish, a highly-rated area to stay in Grenada. There is so much to love about this place! Here's everything you need to know before you go:

Even the best beach experiences can be dulled by a crowd. Grand Anse is quite the popular beach spot, as evidenced by the sheer number of beach hotels, resorts, restaurants, beach clubs, and shops in the vicinity, yet it never seems to feel too crowded thanks to the length of this beautiful stretch. Even when there are multiple cruise ships docked at St. George's port bringing new visitors to the island, you won't have a hard time finding a spot to relax on the sand.
At Grand Anse Beach, you are surrounded by beauty

There's plenty of room to explore and settle into your own space amid the pure natural beauty. The cherry on top?

Grand Anse Beach has amenities for everyone
What's a beach without great amenities? Still beautiful, maybe, but much less convenient. Facilities like bathrooms, changing rooms, and ample parking are important when selecting the best beach to spend time on during your vacation.

Things to do at Grand Anse Beach
Grand Anse Beach is loved by many because there is so much to do on and around the beach. While in Grenada, be sure to take part in some of these fun activities at Grand Anse Beach:
Stroll, sunbathe and enjoy the sand
You'll have more than enough room to roam, sunbathe, and enjoy the ambiance of the picture-perfect Grand Anse Beach while in Grenada. This beach is so lengthy, it takes about 30 minutes to walk from one end of the beach to the other. This makes it a perfect place for the sunset promenade you've always fantasized about. You can expect a scenic, breezy, and romantic walk, especially if you're strolling hand in hand with the one you love. Don't be afraid to detour to the nearby Grand Anse Craft and Spice Market where you'll be able to pick up some authentic Grenadian souvenirs and surprise your loved ones with something special. There are usually lots of vendors selling food, spices, and handmade goodies. The fact that Grand Anse Beach is free to access and always open makes it easy to plan a stroll here whenever you'd like.
Water sports at Grand Anse Beach
There is no better place in Grenada for water sports than Grand Anse Beach. This beach has markedly calm water that is unbelievably clear and ideal for diving. Whether you want to go snorkeling, scuba diving, water skiing, parasailing, or kayaking, at this beautiful beach, you are likely to find what you are in the mood for. Vendors on the beach offer paid water sports excursions, but, if you want the best value, you should try an all-inclusive resort like Sandals where
Good to know: You can't miss seeing the Bianca-C, a sunken 600 ft Italian luxury liner. As one of the largest shipwrecks in the Caribbean and one of the best wreck diving sites on the globe, every diver should cross her off their list at least once. The same goes for
Grenada's underwater sculpture park which offers a unique opportunity to dive amidst eco-conscious art.
Visit a beachfront restaurant or bar near Grand Anse
The chance to enjoy a truly delicious meal can increase your enjoyment of any beach day. After soaking in some sun and dipping into the refreshingly cool water of Grand Anse Beach, vacationers can make their way to the Umbrella Beach Bar at the midpoint of the beach. This beach bar is so popular that service can be slower than usual when it's busy, but you'll hardly notice the wait with such beautiful surroundings, great company, and a few refreshing cocktails to focus on! Plus, the amazing food (try the Carib Sushi!), vibe-worthy music, and tasty drinks keep customers coming back.
Coconut Beach Restaurant is another great dining option where visitors can enjoy mesmerizing ocean views while being cooled off by the sea breeze. If you're looking for new
How to get to Grand Anse Beach
It's not hard to get to Grand Anse Beach while in Grenada. Visitors can get there by taxi, water taxi, public transportation, or even by walking from a nearby resort. Here are some more details on how to get there:
Getting to Grand Anse Beach from St. George
Grand Anse Beach is located about 6 miles from St. George (central), the capital of Grenada. From there, there are lots of public transportation options you can use to get to various points in Grenada, including Grand Anse Beach. It costs about $2 USD each way to get to Grand Anse Beach from St. George and back via public transportation.
If you'd prefer a more scenic route, try taking a water taxi from the St. George cruise port to Grand Anse Beach. This usually costs around $10 USD round trip and is the preferred means of transportation for cruise ship visitors to Grenada. The water taxi will drop you off at the dock that sits right on Grand Anse Beach.
If you decide to take a taxi from St. George, the cost will be around $10 USD to get to Grand Anse Beach. It's a short 10-minute drive, and you can arrange for the taxi to pick you up within an agreed-upon timeframe. That will give you more than enough time to enjoy this awesome beach!
Getting to Grand Anse Beach from Maurice Bishop Airport
Those traveling to Grenada by air will touch down at the Maurice Bishop Airport (GND) in Point Saline. Previously known as the Point Saline Airport, this is the only airport in Grenada. While it's only a 10-minute drive away, it usually costs around $10USD to get to Grand Anse Beach by taxi from the airport.
Other must-see locations around Grand Anse Beach
In addition to luxury hotels, top-rated restaurants, cultural and historic attractions, and endless watersports like snorkeling, there are tons of other things to do and see around Grand Anse Beach. Some of the best attractions in Grenada are located in this area and here are some of our top picks:
Explore Fort George (The Carenage)
At many of the attractions in Grenada, you'll have the option of a half or full-day tour. A Fort George exploration can easily be covered in a half-day tour. This small fort was built in the early 1700s by the British. Before that, the location was home to a battery built by the French in the 1600s. The Royal Grenada Police Force is now housed at Fort George, but some sections of the historic fort are still open for tours. Make your way up the stairs to the top of the fort for a breathtaking view. It will be well worth the effort!
Visit Magazine Beach
While you're in the mood for a beach day, why not make your way over to Magazine Beach in Grenada? As the name suggests, this beach definitely belongs on glossy pages of a magazine, no photoshop needed. This idyllic beach is located about 3.5 miles from Grand Anse Beach, so it's easy to visit them both on the same day. The rugged, secluded, and untouched feel of this 1,500-foot strand of glistening white sand makes it a must-see while vacationing in Grenada!
Take a day trip to Carriacou
There are many small islands around Grenada and Carriacou is one of these. This little island is considered part of the Southern Grenadines, along with Petit Martinique, and is very close to both Grenada and the island of Saint Vincent. Carriacou is just north of Grenada and is one of the country's territories. It's a short 30-minute plane ride to get to Carriacou from Grenada. What the island lacks in a population (only around 8,000 people call Carriacou home), it makes up for with a host of rum shops. The most recent count indicates there are over 100 rum shops on Carriacou! The tiny island has also built a great reputation for being one of the friendliest and safest islands in all of the Caribbean. With all these benefits, why wouldn't you want to take a quick hop to Carriacou from Grenada and explore this beautiful place?
Good to know: Grenada, Carriacou, and Petit Martinique have some of the best diving in the Caribbean thanks to the healthy coral reefs found in the area. Dive sites around Carriacou range from 39ft to 98ft, catering to every experience level. While
scuba diving in Grenada , don't miss the opportunity to see the Westsider and Boris tugboats. These two shipwrecks were intentionally sunk, and have now become a part of the beautiful underwater ecosystem in this area.
Try hiking the parks near Grand Anse Beach
Feeling adventurous? A scenic hike on the island of Grenada may be just what you need! Waterfalls and charming trails can be found by meandering through national parks. Here are some of the best parks in the same area as Grand Anse Beach:
Grand Etang National Park
Anyone who appreciates nature will love the Grand Etang National Park experience. This park is one of the most popular in Grenada and it is about 30 minutes from Grand Anse Beach. Grand Etang National Park is in the central part of Grenada and offers several hiking trails. The shortest hikes are about 15 minutes long, while the longer, more challenging ones can take a few hours to complete.
Grand Etang National Park has thick vegetation and the surrounding forest is great for bird watching. Some of the bird species you may encounter include the Purple Throated Carib, Antillean Crested Hummingbird, Broad Winged Hawk, Lesser Antillean Swift, and others. While taking in the amazing views and scoping for birds, you'll also likely see lizards of all varieties, frogs, armadillos, and mona monkeys.
Mt. Carmel Falls
The pristine natural environment is one of the top
Spectacular sun, sand, and sea await you at Grand Anse Beach!
Grand Anse Beach stands out as one of the most impressive beaches in the Caribbean. Frolick in the sunshine on this sandy shore and take the opportunity to explore the submarine beauty of the Grenadian reefs. There are so many water sports for you to experience that you might have a hard time choosing. Once you're done with your beach day, there are loads of attractions in the vicinity for you to enjoy, including a bustling craft market and mesmerizing waterfall. If there's one place you must include on your Grenada vacation agenda, it's Grand Anse Beach!
Picture: Sandals Grenada features surreal views from pools in the sky, cascading waterfalls and meandering river pools that seem to have been plucked from an artist's fantasy. With unlimited gourmet dining at 10 on-property restaurants, 6 bars, including swim-up bars, and proximity to Grenada's most popular attractions, like Grand Anse Beach, this truly exotic paradise is as luxurious as it is convenient.
Speaking of vacation ... the best vacations in Grenada are spent in a carefree, easy-going style.

Some of our destination weddings
Sandals Grande, St. Lucia, Large Group, Destination Wedding
I wanted to share (with permission) these gorgeous pictures from a destination wedding 2 weekends ago we had the privilege of being a part of and booked by Lia. She chose this over the water wedding chapel in St. Lucia with friends and family there to help celebrate. I love her flower crown and her dress and how happy she is. Picture perfect. Congratulations Kate and Curtis! We are so happy for you!
Beaches Resort, Ocho Rios, Jamaica, Destination Wedding
Lia was very helpful for us in planning our destination wedding to Ocho Rios, Jamaica. We had gone through a few other travel planners first who didn't seem nearly as interested in our needs. We really appreciated the way Lia helped us navigate through some of the complexities, including the local laws of Jamaica and the planning with the resort itself. Even once we got to the resort and ran into a few snags, Lia was able to quickly get those resolved very quickly. We would highly recommend her for anyone planning a destination wedding or any other vacation. Thanks, Lia, for making our destination wedding the most special day of our lives.
Playa Del Carmen, Large Group, Destination Wedding
Wedding planning can be stressful and overwhelming, but if you're planning on having a destination wedding, especially with a large group, I would highly recommend using All Inclusive Weddings!
From beginning to end, they help with every step; i.e., finding the venue, creating a custom wedding website, and booking all your guests. Their office manager, Linze, was very responsive, helpful, and so sweet! Everything turned out smoothly and we couldn't be happier!
Dreams Riviera Cancun Resort & Spa, Destination Wedding
Stephanie was our incredible travel agent for our destination wedding! She helped with every aspect, quick communication and AMAZING coordination with over 50 different people over 8 states. Stephanie from the beginning, gave options and talked through so many questions I had. I could not have asked for a better right hand woman! 10 out of 10 for Steph, we could not appreciate & trust her more!
Incredible Agent For Our Destination Wedding! 10 Out Of 10 For Steph!
Such an amazing week of memories,laughter & love! Thankful for our people and truly blessed beyond words ♥ï¸â™¥ï¸
Royalton Blue Waters, Montego Bay, Jamaica, Destination Wedding
My husband and I worked with the company's owner, Lia Vincent, and office manager, Linze.
Lia & Linze were both very warm and friendly, and from day one, we could tell cared about us as a couple and our destination wedding success, rather than just seeing us as more clients. I get stressed out easily, so planning my own wedding alone was overwhelming, even though my wedding was 10 months out. I ended up working with Linze, and we pushed up the wedding date with a little less than three months to prepare. I was initially nervous about using a travel agent / wedding planner, but it turned out to be a huge blessing, because it took away a lot of the stress and worry I was experiencing. A bride has so many things to worry about, so having someone else bear the brunt of the work and worry about the nitty-gritty details was a HUGE relief for me.
Why spend hours analyzing vendors and reading reviews, when you can have a pro do it? If you want an intimate wedding, if you want to elope, or if you want a huge all-out, go-into-debt-for-years wedding, and if you're in the market for a wedding travel agent, Lia and Linze should be at the top of your list!
The day of the wedding, everything was so beautiful, and so much better than I could have done on my own. Lia's company finds the best local vendors, so you know you'll get great value in your package, and what's nice is her company offers different packages for different budgets. We worked with and met AMAZING vendors! The reception was so elegant that as soon as I entered the reception, I felt amazement, joy, and relief because being the worrywart and control freak that I sometimes can be, it was hard for me to trust someone to somehow make everything perfect. Lia was able to give us the dream wedding we couldn't have done ourselves. Our family and friends were also amazed, and repeatedly told us how great the wedding, reception, and food were at the resort.
Puerto Vallarta, Mexico Destination Wedding
I used Stephanie Tindall to help me choose the perfect resort in PV Mexico for where my guests would stay for my destination wedding. She went round and round with me helping me find the perfect location. It had to be nice, trendy, not to outrageously expensive and within a certain mile radius of a marina where my guests needed to go for the wedding. She helped everyone get booked and when things became a little hectic as tracking sometimes can get. She took care of the details. One of my guests had passport issues and she helped talk them through what to do. It was such a relief to have a point of contact for travel related issues so I didn't have to be stressed about it. She did this all with a patient, positive? upbeat and kind attitude through the entire process. I highly recommend her.
Thank you again,
Darby Brown
UNICO, Riviera Maya, Mexico Destination Wedding
Unico was wonderful and the perfect place for our wedding! It was quiet and the ceremony was better than expected. We had it on the gazebo and it was away from everything, which was great. The photography was beyond our expectations. We have not received our video yet, but assume it will be just as great. I also used the in house vendor for make up and hair, and was not disappointed. The wedding coordinator, Nazareth, was so sweet and on point. We used the local host quite a bit with WhatsApp, which was quite convenient. Food and drinks were amazing. We were disappointed that 2087 restaurant was down for half of our stay for repairs. We ate at Mi Carisa on our wedding night, which was the perfect choice. Service was also best there. We scheduled 2 tours through the hotel, a sunset cruise and Chichen Itza express. The boat tour was nice. Chichen itza tour was too fast and ok. We really appreciate your recommendations and help booking our wedding and stay. It was wonderful! Thank you again, Juliet and Jason
Hard Rock Punta Cana, Dominican Republic, Destination Wedding
We just got back from an AMAZING wedding weekend yesterday. I can't begin to thank you enough for your help and support during the entire process. Everyone had a great time. It truly was one of the best days of my life and I can't believe how stress-free it was once I got there. Thank you Thank you!
Secrets Playa Mujeres, Mexico, Destination Wedding
I have never used a travel agent before Lia. I have always been the "I can do everything cheaper by myself on the internet" type person; most of the time, it works great. When my husband and I decided to have a destination wedding, we were not sure about anything - number of guests, length of stay, etc; we also have very demanding jobs, requiring constant travels up until the week before our wedding. So we thought that a travel agent may be a lifesaver; as it turned out, she was. Lia was endorsed as an expert in destination weddings on the American Express Travel website. Although she lived over a 1,000 miles away, I felt comfortable.
As I am not a "girly" person, wedding planning was not my thing; however, party planning and event coordination are. Lia and I treated this "event" like a business and I loved that about her; I needed someone to be truthful and provide honest advice. As it is with my job, I like corresponding via emails because I can have all the information on hand and in writing at all time; Lia always accommodated that, and always very promptly. I'm not talking about several emails over a few months; I'm talking about over the course of over a year. Lia was there to provide support when I had a hard time reach the wedding coordinator; she was there when I freaked out at the resort regarding my brother's return transportation (as it turned out, my brother spoke with the wrong transportation company); she was organized to be able to provide me with spreadsheet of all guest arrival information; she always submitted my requests to Classic Vacation and the resort promptly. James and I cannot thank Lia enough to make everything go smoothly for the biggest event of our lives. All 48 of us had such a great time that we absolutely see another group vacation in the future.
UNICO 2087, Riviera Maya, Mexico, Destination Wedding
Read the full details about this destination wedding in our blog post, Mark and Casey Simpsen's Destination Wedding at UNICO 2087. This couple was also featured in the UNICO 2087 Resort blog post, UNICO Destination Wedding, Casey Shelley & Mark Simpsen
Beach Palace Cancun, Mexico, Destination Wedding
Lia being referred to me saved me so much wedding planning mental anguish! I had tried with a few other travel agents before I had two different people give me Lia's name, and with each of the previous TAs they had to look into things and call me back (I'm still waiting for those calls). Getting in touch with Lia was a whole new experience, she answered all my initial questions in that first phone call, had so many recommendations, and it was obvious she knew exactly what she was doing. By the time we hung up the first phone call, I had decided on a destination and venue (per Lia's suggestion). She was a God send! A year later, we are still having people talk about what a great trip it was and people are always amazed by what a great turn out we had. We ended up with about 60 people, all booking through Lia and everyone had a flawless experience. One even asked for her name when planning her destination wedding a few months later and was just as pleased! Lia told me a lot through the planning process that I was such a laid-back bride, but it really was because she left me nothing to worry about. She answered any question I had, was always quick to respond to calls and emails, and helped me plan the most perfect wedding ever. I wish I could re-live it all again!!
Cozumel Palace, Mexico, Destination Wedding
My husband Cameron and I got married at the Cozumel Palace in June of 2014 and could not have been more happy with our experience. A destination wedding was definitely the way to go for us and Lia was a great asset in our planning.
Throughout the process we felt completely at ease as she handled some of the most important details of planning for this special time. From her first recommendations of resorts and destinations to her help arranging travel for our closest family and friends we always felt grateful having Lia on our side. We highly recommend Lia Vincent and Palace Resorts for your destination wedding!
Le Blanc Spa Resort, Destination Wedding
I am truly so grateful for you and all of your help! Le Blanc was amazing! NOTHING could have been better, except maybe the weather, but the staff, food, and service were above and beyond! We will definitely go back there!! Love, Love, Love you for all of your help - Can NOT thank you enough!!
Beach Palace, Cancun, Mexico, Destination Wedding
Our Dream Wedding!
Lia was a phenomenal help from the beginning. She was referred to me by a friend, and I was incredibly thankful that we used her. When we started planning, we became overwhelmed with all of the information that is available.
We met with her for about 45 minutes one afternoon, took her pictures of spaces we had seen online and liked, and gave her a list of our "must-haves", a list of things that would be nice but didn't matter too much, and a list of things we absolutely did NOT want. She kind of thought about things for a minute, and then listed 3 resorts that fit every single one of our needs. She then ran sample pricing from EVERY location our guests would be traveling from so we could figure out what best fit our and our guests' travel budgets. After about a million more questions from me, we finally settled on her initial recommendation, the Beach Palace in Cancun. As we went through the process, any time I had a question, problem, or was just worried about something not being right, she was my go-to person. I'm not kidding, she would answer me in like, less than an hour 99% of the time. She even took my file home one weekend to give me more time to figure something out before she ran credit cards and got it booked. She was a Godsend!
Riu Palace, Riviera Maya, Mexico, Destination Wedding
My husband Cameron and I got married at the Cozumel Palace in June of 2014 and could not have been more happy with our experience. A destination wedding was definitely the way to go for us and Lia was a great asset in our planning.
Lia with Lia helped us plan our destination wedding in Riviera Maya, Mexico. We had a total of 11 people and she helped each of them set up their arrangements. From the beginning she was so helpful and always quick to respond. She made the entire process a breeze. She communicated with the wedding coordinator at the Riu Palace and made sure everything was just like we wanted. We did not have any issues at all, thanks to Lia and all of her thorough planning. Each of our guests bragged on her and said how easy it was to work with her. I would recommend Lia for all of your planning needs whether it be just a short vacation or a destination wedding. She knows what she is doing and will make sure all of your questions are answered and that you have the best vacation.
Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, Destination Wedding
My husband and I got married in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico right off the beach. It was pure bliss, and everything I could have ever dreamed of! I may be biased, but destination weddings are certainly the way to go and thanks to our wonderful Travel Agent Lia Vincent at Vincent Vacations, we were able to find the perfect place! I had the opportunity to be able to edit the straight out of camera photos from my wedding! Here is a glimpse of our wedding day in paradise!

"It was beautiful! Everybody had a fantastic time!"
The staff was wonderful, the rooms were gorgeous, and the food was AMAZING! Our wedding could not have been more perfect and if you have any brides that want a beautiful wedding on a budget, The Excellence Punta Cana would be my number one recommendation. Emy and Livia were fantastic and everything was just PERFECT! Chris couldn't even believe how wonderful it was.
Thank you again for all of your help!!!
Dreams, Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, Destination Wedding
Our Dream Wedding!
As soon as Jimmy asked me to marry him, I knew we would want a destination wedding. We love to travel, and we love the beach, so there was no more perfect place to start our lives together than a beach in Mexico!
I am not the wedding planning type, and I knew that with a destination wedding, we could get someone else to plan the details for us. Luckily for me, my friend Lia at Vincent Vacations specializes in Destination Weddings. Lia had taken care of trips for us in the past, and I knew she was the perfect person to help me plan this trip. I was right! She helped me look through destinations, and we found the perfect spot: Dreams in Puerto Vallarta! The package came with a wedding planner, who took care of the details for me. 21 of our friends and family came with us, and everyone loved the resort. Our party ranged in age from 7 to 82, and everyone agreed it was an amazing trip. There were activities for the kids, and plenty of excursions for everyone to choose from. The staff was wonderful, and pampered us from the time we arrived. One of my bridesmaids had a broken foot and was on crutches, and was in a wheelchair some. The hotel staff assisted her anytime she needed it, including carrying her and her wheelchair up and down large flights of stairs. They were amazing! All the rooms are ocean front, with beautiful views. Jimmy and I stayed in the "Preferred" tower, and our room came with a great balcony with a hot tub! Most of our guests stayed in the other tower, but the resort is small enough, this was not a problem at all. They all loved their rooms as well. The wedding planner met with me in advance to work out the last minute details and timing. When our wedding day came, everything went perfectly. We got married on the beach right in front of the ocean. We had a sound system and a dj who played all the songs that we picked out in advance. My Dad is a minister, and he performed the service for us. We had 21 in our wedding party, but it felt like a much bigger wedding because lots of people watched the wedding. You could see people everywhere on their balconies watching, which made us feel like rock stars. We had a Mexican band that played a few songs after the wedding. The wedding came with a photographer and videographer who did amazing job! We took pictures right after the wedding, then we had dinner which also came with the wedding. We had steak and chicken which tasted great. Of course, I also asked them for chips and guacamole. (I love the guacamole in Mexico.) They were happy to oblige. They provided the wedding cake after which was amazing. After the wedding, my husband and I stayed for another 4 days, and it was paradise. I could not have asked for a more beautiful place to get married, or a less stressful way to do it. Thanks Lia and Vincent Vacations for making our special day an amazingly unforgettable experience!

Grand Fiesta Americana, Los Cabos, Mexico, Destination Wedding
This was the best and easiest decision we made about our entire wedding! Lia at All Inclusive Weddings is the absolute best, extremely intelligent, hard working, and so caring. She truly makes you feel like you are her only client throughout the entire process. We had about 120 people coming to our Cabo wedding and even had to switch resorts, visitors coming from all different states and even Europe. She was calm, and kept the bride and groom calm! Every detail was taken care of and it was made to be the most perfect wedding!
Finest, Playa Mujeres, Mexico, Destination Wedding
I just wanted to thank you for all your hard work to arrange the hotel and transfers for Ashley and Robbie's wedding. It was perfect and everything that she had ever dreamed of! The resort was amazing! We had great food at all the restaurants. The staff went over the top to accommodate any needs that you could have had! Everyone felt safe and the beaches are beautiful. Since it's more private you don't get the crazy vendors walking the beach trying to sell you stuff. Our family loved it so much and we defiantly will be planning another vacation. You will be the first I call if we need help to organize something! Thank you again for everything
