Grenada divides into six parishes, plus the sister islands of Carriacou and Petite Martinique to the north. The island is small, so you can cross it in an afternoon, but each parish has its own character, its own coast, and its own reasons to visit. This guide walks you through all of them.
If you only know Grenada from the resorts, you know St. George. There is far more, and it is closer than you think.
St. George
The southwest and the capital. This is where most visitors stay and where the island is busiest, home to Grand Anse beach, the Carenage harbour, the forts, and the bulk of the restaurants and hotels. Read the St. George's guide.
St. David
The southeast, and the only parish without a town. Quiet, green, and coastal, with La Sagesse bay and the Westerhall area. See St. David.
St. Andrew
The largest parish, on the east coast, centred on Grenville. Agricultural heartland, Atlantic coast, and the trailheads for the Seven Sisters falls. See St. Andrew.
St. John
The west coast fishing parish, home to Gouyave and its famous Fish Friday, plus Concord Falls. See St. John.
St. Mark
The smallest parish, in the northwest around Victoria, under Grenada's high peaks. Quiet and scenic. See St. Mark.
St. Patrick
The north, around Sauteurs. Rum at River Antoine, the Belmont Estate, the beaches at Levera and Bathway, and Carib's Leap. The most to see for a day trip north. Read St. Patrick.
Carriacou and Petite Martinique
The sister islands, a short ferry or flight north. Quieter, slower, and known for boatbuilding, sailing, and empty beaches. See the Carriacou and Petite Martinique guide.
