Ranking Grenada Anchorages: Pluses and Minuses

We’re looking back as our time in Grenada ends. Three months have flown by, as we’ve kept busy with cruiser activities, guests and boat projects. As we say goodbye to a wonderful place to spend hurricane season, we’re ranking Grenada anchorages.

Cruising Grenada

The majority of cruisers park their boats on the southern shore of the island. Each bay has its pluses and minuses: some are more comfortable, others more convenient. All of the bays are busy this time of year, since we’re all here for hurricane season but different cruisers have different priorities and comfort levels. As a result, these observations and rankings are ours alone and you should bop around the bays yourself and make your own decisions.

In my descriptions below, I move around the Grenada bays from northwest to southeast. These are not all the places to anchor in Grenada, simply the most popular as well as those we have personally tried. Now, on to ranking Grenada anchorages.

Please note that some of this has changed due to Covid and time, so always check with the relevant authorities before entering a new country.

Fun Things to Do in Grenada

We’ve spent our hurricane season in Grenada improving Sava and having fun. As you know from reading previous posts, we are trying to make the most of our time and enjoy all the fun and beauty the island offers. Here is a roundup of more fun things to do in Grenada.

Cooking Demonstration

Esther and Omega offer a weekly cooking demo for anyone who wants to attend. At each session, Esther and Omega show us how to make traditional local recipes and then we dig in to eat.

Grenada Highlights: Nature and Outdoors

Grenada is a naturally beautiful island with friendly people and fun culture. We’ve been exploring since our arrival on the Spice Island. Here are our Grenada highlights of nature and the great outdoors.

Sculpture Park

Underwater art installations in the ocean near St. George’s create beautiful artificial reefs and one of the island’s most popular destinations for snorkeling or scuba diving.

The Moliniere underwater sculpture park attracts fish and people to this unique site on Grenada’s west coast. I think this park is a must visit, for the beautiful otherworldly pieces by artist Jason deCaires Taylor and the plentiful ocean life. Taylor is an environmentalist and artist with work is in Bahamas and around the world. The award winning Grenada site includes more than 65 sculptures, notably a ring of children, “The Lost Correspondent” of a man at a desk, and “Nutmeg Princess” fitting for Grenada as a nutmeg producer.
