Beach Description Black Bay
One of the most stunningly beautiful Grenada beaches. Not often visited because of its remote location. Grand Anse The primary Grenada beach for tourism. Fairly relaxed even though many hotels are located here. Lanse Aux Epines
Very narrow beach with lots of shade trees almost to the water line. Great for picnics and anyone sensitive to the sun. Morne Rouge No, this is not something the Avon Lady sells. Similar to Grande Anse but with more shade and even less activity. Pink Gin Beach The name alone is worth a visit. Rumored clothing-op beach nearby but don't count on it. Folks here are strict textiles.
Grenada Golf & Country Club The Grenada Golf & Country Club is a nine-hole course located near Grand Anse. Facilities include club rental, instruction, a clubhouse offering snacks and a bar, and caddy service.

Dive Sites |
 |
| Dive Site | Description |
| Bianca C | The largest wreck site in the Caribbean, the Bianca C is a 600-foot cruise ship that sank in 1961 and lies on a sandy plain in 167 feet of water. At times there are strong tidal currents, making this an advanced deep dive (with a checkout dive required). The top deck lies at 90 feet and most dives proceed around the stern, where you can swim into the pool, visit the wheel-house on the aft deck and peer down at the sandy plain below. There are schools of jacks, barracuda and spotted eagle rays in abundance. |
| Boss Reef | There are three main dive sites on this extensive reef. The Hole starts in sand bars then descends down s slope to 50 feet. Further along this gentle drift dive, you will come to the hole, a frequent hang-out for barracuda. The Valley of the Whales is a colourful dive site where hills of coral contrast with occasional Spanish hog-fish. Forests of Dean offers vast expanses of soft brown coral ""trees"" that hide shoals of tropicals. In the sand-patches uyou will find rays, conch and octopus. |
| Channel Reef | A shallow reef that drops off to form a deep-water entrance to St. George's Harbour. |
| Dragon Bay | A wall dive with deep channels of volcanic rock rising from a sandy bottom making it suitable for beginners along the top and advanced divers along the bottom of the wall. |
| Flamingo Bay | Offers the dive wall with the most prolific fish life. Shoals of Creole wrasse, yellow chromis, grunts and jack knife fish lead down the wall to 90 feet where grouper, jacks and rays can be seen. |
| Grand Mal Point | One of the few wall dives around Grenada and Carriacou. The wide spectrum of reef life is accented with plentiful whip coral, gorganians and sea fans. |
| Molinere Reef | Beginning 20 feet down, Molinere Reef slopes to a wall which starts at 35 feet and drops to 65 feet. For the more advanced diver, there is a wreck, The Buccaneer, a 42-foot, two-masted sloop, stripped and penetrable. |
| Quarter Wreck | The other part of Three Wrecks. It lies on the edge of Grand Reef and has some nice corel formations and larger schools of fish in the deeper parts. |
| Red Buoy | The shallows conceal an 18th century wreck, now visible as clumps of coral. |
| Spice Island Reef | The ideal place for beginners. The reef is a level sand area edged by a reef of finger coral, interspersed with brain coral that supports an array of tropicals. |
| Three Wrecks | Offers exploration of threeparts of a cargo ship that sank in St. George's Harbour and had to be cut to be removed. Because there is such a strong current, this site is rarely dived. |
| Veronica L | A cargo vessel that recently went down just outside the city of St. George's. It lies near the mouth of a river and is therefore heavily silted with very little around it. |
| Whibble Reef | Offers a sloping sand wall that descends sharply to 167 feet to the north and gently to the south. This is an advenced dive over enchanted reef and coral formations. |
| Windmill Shallows | A narrow ridge only 20 - 30 feet wide. There is an abundance of fish because of tidal currents flowing over the ridge. |
