Ah, Grenada, what a great country! This is a location we understood bit to nothing about before choosing to step right here to pet-sit for 7 months, which [turned out to be] one of the very best decisions we’ve ever made. We understood a bit bit about the Caribbean, however the countries that pertained to mind were St. Lucia, Barbados, the Virgin Islands, Turks & Caicos as well as the Dominican Republic.
We hadn’t even heard about the flavor Isle of Grenada up until reading a fellow traveller’s blog. It’s one of those locations that isn’t frequently seen on travel brochures, as well as is just far sufficient away to prevent mass tourism.
The Caribbean is generally understood for its elegant accommodation, blindingly white sands as well as best waters for sailing. Unfortunately, because of the popularity of the area, as well as simplicity of gain access to from North America, lots of of the islands in this sensational string of countries have ended up being over-developed as well as over-priced.
…except for Grenada!
Located in the extremely southern reaches of the lower Antilles, just 140 kms north of Venezuela, this is a country that has slipped between the tourism cracks. You’ll have to get right here soon to take pleasure in the natural appeal as well as authentic feel before everybody starts realizing what a jewel Grenada genuinely is.
야외
Many of the island nations in the Caribbean are flat as well as sandy. Grenada is special in that it’s volcanic, mountainous and sandy! This makes for some refreshing waterfalls as well as incredible views when hiking as well as trekking.
There are a lot more tracks as well as hikes than I might even begin to tell you about. Living right here has provided us insight to lots of of the off-the-beaten-path treks that even a few of the locals don’t understand about. The jagged shoreline, many bays as well as thick jungle produce some fascinating walks.

The Beaches
When going on an all-inclusive holiday somewhere in Mexico or the Caribbean, it’s nearly guaranteed that the beach will be packed with people. right here in Grenada, the most popular, 3km long, Grand Anse beach is essentially empty in comparison, even during the height season. The busiest we’ve seen it was during mid-late August when lots of of the regional Grenadians who online abroad came back to their house country to partake in Carnival.
Apparently there are around 45 different beaches on the island! three of which are the most prominent with tourists, while a lot of of the other 42 are peaceful as well as best for a walk, swim or a picnic.
We like being able to select which beach we feel like checking out – White sand, or black? hectic with beach bars, or peaceful with nobody around? Calm waters, or wavy? A beach with sunset, or sunrise? A beach on our doorstep, or one we have to drive to?
There are so lots of incredible beaches in Grenada, it has every type of beach we might potentially ask for.

The Authenticity
Grenada is one of those countries that’s not putting on a show. It’s rugged, unpretentious as well as naturally breathtaking without having to try.
The people right here aren’t jaded by tourism, instead, they’re inquisitive as well as real. You’ll frequently see regional fishermen walking house after a day at sea, as well as guy bring machetes. This may seem bizarre as well as a bit frightening to some, however the machete (or “cutlass” as the English-speaking Caribbean countries phone call it) is the tool of option right here in Grenada. They chop down tree branches, clean as well as jungle to make paths, as well as fracture open coconuts with two swift swings.
There’s a term in Grenada called “liming”, which is generally the art of doing nothing! You can’t lime alone though, so you’re only genuinely liming if surrounded by friends. regional rum shacks are prominent liming hangouts, as are untouristed beaches as well as the front porches of colourful homes.
We like feeling like we’re really in the Caribbean as well as not in a built-up vacationer trap.

The Activities
Even though lazing on the beach is relaxing, it can get tiring after a while. When household pertained to go to us in August, we had a big listing of sights as well as things to perform in Grenada for them to select from. They were right here for two weeks, however could’ve stayed for a month as well as s할 때까지 일이 위임 한 것뿐만 아니라 볼 수있었습니다.
카리브해는 최고의 다이빙 다이빙, 낚시 및 항해 목적지로 이해되지만 다시는 그레나다가 자주 간과됩니다!
그레나다와 북쪽으로 캐리 쿠 (Criacou)와 그레나딘 (Grenadines)으로 항해하는 것은 놀라운 여행입니다. 우리는 Tobago Cays를 보거나 그레나다의 서부 해안선을 항해하고 물에서 섬을 보는 것을 결코 보지 못했습니다.
바로 다이빙 다이빙은 큰 동물, 화려한 산호, 세계 최초의 수중 조각품으로 특별합니다. 바로 여기의 해양 공원은 다이빙이 훌륭 할뿐만 아니라 잘 돌 보았습니다. 심해 낚시는 세계적 수준이며 10 월에 낚시 여행을 기다릴 수는 없습니다! Yellowfin Tuna, Mahi-Mahi, Barracuda 및 Marlin은 우리가 이상적으로 연결되는 많은 물고기 중 일부일뿐입니다.
물뿐만 아니라 물 모두에도 많은 활동이 있으며, 우리는 카약 여행뿐만 아니라 사이클 여행을 앞두고 있습니다!
그레나다에서 항해하는 놀라운 날
관광객의 부족
이것은 아마도 그레나다에 대한 최고의 (그리고 최악의) 일 가능성이 높습니다.
영국뿐만 아니라 미국에서 나오는 대부분의 항공편은 트리니다드를 통과 할뿐만 아니라 여러 가지 레이어를 가지고 있습니다. 관광객들을 위해 간단하게 확인하기 위해 그레나다로 직접 비행기가 충분하지 않습니다. 그러나 더 많은 항공사가 매일 그레나다 행 항공편을 공급하고있을뿐만 아니라 상황이 훨씬 좋아지고 있습니다.
이 매력적인 섬은 크루즈 선박 항구이지만 그레나다가 지금까지 남쪽에 있기 때문에 거의 모든 유형의 선박이 해안에 도달하지 않습니다. 이렇게하면 공급 업체와 여행 가이드가 빈손으로 남겨 둡니다.
솔직히 말해서, 우리가 짧은 시간 동안 바로 여기에 살고 있다는 점을 고려할 때, 우리는 주변에 많은 관광객이 없다는 것을 기쁘게 생각합니다. 물론, 매년 보는 소수의 관광객을 생계하려고하는 서비스 소유자에게는 완벽하지 않습니다. 자신을 위해, 나는 그레나다에서 관광이 향상되기를 바랍니다.
바라건대 사람들은 특별하고 흥미로운 목적지 Grenada가 진정으로 무엇인지 인식하기 시작할 것입니다. 카리브해에서 약간의 낙원을 찾으려고한다면 여기에서 찾기 위해 절대적으로 노력하면 실망하지 않을 것입니다.
