The island of
Known as the Spice Isle, Grenada is one of the biggest producers of spices, providing the world with lots of cinnamon, turmeric, cloves and ginger! Visitors to these shores are often compelled to find out more about its colorful history, and to experience its wonderful beaches and other natural attractions.
If you're planning to go, make sure you keep at least one Friday night free as part of your trip to take in Fish Friday, Grenadian style, and also, be sure to pencil in some time to explore the many historical monuments that can be found here.
There are lots of things to do in Grenada, and for the purposes of enhancing your vacation there, here are the top 50!
55. Take a trip to Hog Island
This secluded stretch of island is the ideal place to simply relax and unwind. You can get some much needed RNR on any day that you decide to go, but be sure to bring along some food, drink and some recreational material to keep you occupied. Sundays at Hog Island tend to pull a crowd that come out for the music, dancing, drinks and a good ol' BBQ at Roger's Barefoot Beach Bar. Hog Island can be accessed by car from Mt. Hartman. Once you get there, you'll need to take a brief walk across the bridge for access. Visitors can also get there by boat from neighboring Woburn.
54. Walk along The Carenage
Location: St. George's
Take a cool walk along The Carenage, which is a lively waterfront promenade in St. George, the capital of Grenada. Here you'll find great views of everything from boats and wandering cats, to bustling workers preparing the boats to leave for other islands, or welcoming them as they come in. Explore the shopping centers, or revel in the sight of the radiant city and its infrastructure.
53. Climb up to Fort Matthew
Location: St. George's
This 18th century 1500-yard fort is the largest of its kind on the island and its name derives from the then governor, Edward Matthew. A visit to Fort Matthew is both intriguing and exciting, particularly for those who can appreciate the intricacy of 18th century style amenities like the army kitchens, bathrooms and the tables made out of rum barrels. The amazing view of St. George and the Melville Street Cruise Port make a trip to this part of the island more than worth it.
52. Try some new water sports
Location: Dragon Bay
This popular beach can be found near Molinere, along the west coast of Grenada. It is busy enough that you can enjoy some people watching, but not so busy that you'll end up in a squabble over a prime beachside spot. There are bathrooms and a concession stand for your convenience but perhaps the best perk of all, is the wonderful opportunity to snorkel and dive among the seahorses and other marine life.
51. Experience Fish Friday
Location: Gouyave
The town of Gouyve (pronounced as gwav) has made a name for itself when it comes to finding the best fish every Friday. Locals and visitors come out in large numbers to enjoy some of the delectable fish meals, which include lobster, fish, lambi and other scrumptious seafood. The festivities begin at 6 pm and continue well into the morning with steel pan entertainment and Caribbean rhythms.
50. Visit nearby islands like Carriacou & Petit Martinique
Petit Martinique and Carriacou, part of the Grenadines, are two of the closest islands to Grenada. Carriacou, also known as 'The Land of the Reefs' is a snorkeler's dream while Petit Martinique is a fishing islet that has maintained its authenticity over the years. Both islands can be accessed by ferry or plane and you definitely will not regret going. Want to visit these locations? Check out this great
Tip: A water taxi from Hillsborough to Petit Martinique is also available, and costs around $60 USD per person.
49. Listen to steel pan music
Location: island wide
The smooth melody of Grenadian steel pan music is well loved across the island. The pan members play just about every genre of music and you'll find yourself moving and grooving and in good spirits in no time. The sounds of the steel drums can be heard during Carnival, on the Carenage and at Spice Basket, a venue with authentic local entertainment. Suzuki Pan Wizards are one of the most popular steel bands on the island and has been in existence since 1988.
48. Unwind at a Friday night bonfire & BBQ
Location: St. George's
Apart from the Fish Fry in Gouyave, Grenada has lots of amazing Friday night activities. One of the most popular is the Friday Night Bonfire & BBQ in St. George. The Bonfire and BBQ held at the Savvy Beach Cabana offers a relaxing experience featuring soft pan music, a sparkling bonfire, delicious food and a calm beach atmosphere. The meals include grilled fish or meat with potatoes, pumpkin, salad and more.
47. Tee-off at Grenada's golf course & country club
This 1936 golf course has 9 holes (2673 yards), hilly terrain and just enough wind to test your skills in the game. No worries though, because a pro golfer, Ronny Felix is on standby to help new golfers and even advanced players if they encounter difficulty. Regardless, the stunning view of the island from this vantage is sure to put you in a great mood.
46. Learn about the Carib's Leap
Location: Sauteurs
Picture: Sauteurs Bay.
In 1651, in the town of Sauteurs, the last of the Carib Indians on the island of Grenada fiercely resisted colonization by the French. They resorted to committing a collective act of sacrifice: mass suicide. Together, they all jumped off the cliff and into the ocean, several feet below. The area where they jumped to their deaths is now known as Carib's Leap.
45. Stop by Grenada's fish market
Location: St. George's
If you're looking for things to do in Grenada then you definitely should stop by Grenada's Fish Market, a busy and exciting place where you're bound to meet some interesting people and get the freshest catch. The market is often buzzing with visitors who have dropped by for some fresh local fish. Catches of the day include red snapper or barracuda, which are sold at affordable prices. Souvenirs are also sold at this location.
44. Visit St George's Anglican Church
Location: St. George's
This historical church was not left untouched by bad weather. It suffered some significant structural damages and since then, repairs have been underway to restore its ceiling and gallery. Nevertheless, you can still drop by to see this 1825 structure and learn the rich history of the majestic building.
43. Go barbeque hopping
As soon as the weekend hits, pork, chicken and fish can often be seen sizzling away on BBQ grills across Grenada. Preparation of this grilled food is an island wide practice and places like Jam-Down Jerk Chicken in Grand Anse Valley or Rosanne's BBQ in St. David are among the most popular BBQ spots. At these locales, you can grab a few drinks to go along with your meal, before moving onto the next hotspot of your night.
42. Give bowling a try at Lavo Lanes
Location: St. George's
Sure you've been bowling before, but have you been bowling in Grenada? The ambiance is different here, and so is the competition. Lavo Lanes is relatively new, and at this location you'll find a bar and a rooftop area for those looking to chill, and not just bowl. More serious bowlers can use any of the 8 lanes to try for a perfect score.
41. Join the Grenada Hash House Harriers
Location: St. George's
Approximately 150 to 300 men and women meet up every Saturday for a cross country fun walk in Grenada. This social group is open to everyone, regardless of age and agility and they actually call themselves 'drinkers with a running problem'. Once the island wide trail has been set up, the 2 hours or so walk begins as participants follow bits of clues along the way until they finish off at a rum shop or bar.
40. Visit in time for the Grenada Music Festival
Though this festival was launched only a few years ago, in 2016, it may well be an excellent addition to your vacation 'to do' list in the future. The first year of the festival saw performances by the ever-so-soulful Estelle, Joss Stone and the Roots Reggae musical band Steel Pulse. Local performers and vendors joined in on the festivities but in 2019, it was postponed due to insufficient funding. All we can say at this point is that you should keep your eyes open so you'll be the first to know when this amazing festival makes its much anticipated comeback!
39. Chill at the Prickly Bay Marina
Location: St. George's
On the southwestern part of Grenada, lies Lance Aux Epines in the parish of St. George, where the Prickly Bay Marina can be found. It has become a hangout for sailors and other maritime folk, who come together to chill, eat and drink at the restaurants and bars and to take advantage of their deals. Whatever you do, don't miss happy hour (5 pm to 6 pm)!
38. Visit Black Bay Beach
Location: St. John
The sand on Black Bay Beach is in fact black. This exotic, volcanic beach in St. John is considered one of the most gorgeous beaches in the Caribbean, for its unique look. Here you'll also find a cave that you can explore if you dare. The cave has markings from the Amerindians, the earliest settlers on the island. It only takes a short 20-minute trek from Concord to make your way to this private beach, so don't miss out.
37. Plan a Saturday morning market run
Location: St. George's
Take a trip down to the fruit and vegetable market early on a Saturday morning to get first dibs on the freshest produce of the day.

34. Explore Dougaldston Spice Estate
Location: Gouyave
Learning the history of this estate will help you understand why Grenada has been dubbed the 'Spice Isle.'

Location: Concord
The Concord Falls comprises of three different waterfalls at various altitudes, which determines how long it takes to get to them. The first and the lowest one is about 100 feet in, and the other two call for a bit more walking and hiking (45 minutes or more) from the very first fall.

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!
Iberostar, Grand Punta Cana, Destination Wedding
We had the most amazing time at our wedding. Our guests are still talking about what an amazing trip it was! Thank you for your help with organizing this unforgettable time for us, we cannot wait to put our pictures in our new frame!
Dreams, Puerto Aventuras Resort, Destination Wedding
Lia, thank you very much for all of your help with our PERFECT wedding vacation!
Excellence, Punta Cana, Dominican Republic, Destination Wedding
"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
We have been in business since 2013, and booking destination weddings since 2002!
