Start off your foodie adventure at the bustling St. George’s Market Square. This vibrant local market offers a variety of spices, fruits, and vegetables, as well as fresh seafood caught by local fishermen. Be sure to try the national dish, Oil Down, made with breadfruit, salted meat, and coconut milk.
Visit Belmont Estate, a historic plantation, for a farm-to-table lunch and a tour of the cocoa processing facilities. Then head to the Grenada Chocolate Company to indulge in some of the finest chocolate in the Caribbean. Learn about the chocolate-making process and try some unique flavors, like nutmeg-infused chocolate.
Join locals and tourists alike for Fish Friday, a weekly street party in the fishing village of Gouyave. Enjoy freshly grilled seafood and dance to live music while soaking up the lively atmosphere.
End your trip on a peaceful note with a visit to La Sagesse Nature Center. Here, you can enjoy a traditional Grenadian breakfast at the on-site restaurant, hike through the lush rainforest, and relax on the secluded beach. Don’t miss the chance to try some of the local juices, like soursop and sorrel.
It is recommended to rent a car to explore Grenada, as public transportation can be unreliable. Expect to pay around $60 per day for a rental car. Keep in mind that driving is on the left side of the road. Taxi rides between major towns and attractions can cost up to $40.
If you have more time, consider visiting the rainforest at Grand Etang National Park or taking a sunset sail around the island. For those with less time, skip Belmont Estate and Grenada Chocolate Company and head straight to Gouyave for Fish Friday.
