[09.09.2008] Sometimes it's a little difficult to decide where to go and hang out and have a meal with some entertainment in Grenada. The Hornibaboon Bar is a good place to choose. Its got a great location, to start off (with a wonderful view overlooking the lagoon), and the crowd that frequents there, is a nice mix of locals and visitors alike. We went there a couple of nights ago with some friends to have a few drinks and ende [more]

[01.09.2008] It has been quite a while since we have had a nice beach bar on the Grand Anse beach. Thankfully, that has now been remedied since Garfield and a few partners opened the bar at the corner of the Grand Beach property. It has been an instant hit from the start, and his biggest problem has actually been getting people to leave when it is time to close the place for the night. The bar is located at the end of the public [more]

[29.08.2008] One of the places where we occasionally like to eat out at, is 'De Big Fish'. It's a nice open air restaurant situated just outside the Spice Island Marina in True Blue. It is situated to take advantage of visitors from the yachts anchored in the bay, so is set right on the waters edge, with a jetty built alongside. It is well patronized. Casual dining is the theme, and is very popular with locals and visitors alik [more]

[27.08.2008] The 'Little Dipper' is a small local restaurant located in the Woburn area of St.George, which we frequent from time to time. It is about 15 minute drive from the Tourist belt (Grand Anse) along the south east coast heading north. Taking a taxi to get there would cost about US$20 from the Grand Anse area. It is not what you would expect of a 'typical' restaurant, but more of the type of Grenadian construction whic [more]

[14.08.2008] Grenada's main "CARNIVAL" activities take place around the second weekend of August every year. And Carnival is WELL worth a visit!

[27.01.2008] Concord falls is one of the more popular falls on the island, with visitors, and is on the list of our favourite places to go hiking as it also passes through a field of nutmeg trees. Several of the local tour companies include it on their list of places to see. The Concord river valley actually has 3 waterfalls, with the Concord falls being the most easily accessible and therefore the more popular. The main roa [more]

[27.01.2008] Fish friday is an amazing event which was developed after Hurricane Ivan in '04. The community of Gouyave ( Fishing Village) got together with the idea of producing an event which would boost the economy of the town, while raising awareness for the fishing industry. Additionally, it was set up to create a link to the different parts of the islands economy, including the agricultural and cultural sectors. This has pr [more]

[24.01.2008] The market is quite colorful, and is located on the Grand Anse beach, alongside the Grand Beach Resort. There is a wide variety of spices, jewellery, crafts, souvenirs, local food and much much more. From drinks and small snacks, to souvenirs and beach chairs.

[24.01.2008] This is the perfect hideaway if you are looking for a romantic getaway in the Caribbean. La Sagesse is situated on the southeast coast of the island, hidden away in a quiet cove. The beach is usually quite deserted, and practically at your doorstep and offers lots of shade. (In fact, someone we know complained that they could not fall asleep at night because of the sound of the waves breaking on the shore...? [more]
