What do you do on a Caribbean island? Usually not much, but sometimes lying on a towel on a beach can get a bit tedious. So if you’re thinking of booking a holiday to the Caribbean, here are some cool things to do in Grenada.

We spent most of our time on Grande Anse, but there are lots more lovely beaches to chill out on. We ventured out to the tranquil bay at Lanse aux Epines where we crashed on the Calabash resort's beach chairs.

The drive into the interior of the island was incredibly scenic and pretty views of the coast line popped in and out of view. We spotted lots of nutmeg trees, naturally, and even some nosey monkeys. The lake itself is a lovely spot to chill for a bit in one of the oriental pavilions, which were donated by the Chinese people.
Go Back to the Beach
Lastly, you go back to your beach chair and your cocktail on the beach, because that is really the main reason why one comes to Grenada. Right?
