Best beaches
One of the island's best beaches is at Grand Anse; another is at Levera Bay near the island's northern tip. The beaches on neighbouring Morne Rouge are stunning, as are the deserted beaches on the southern coast. Levera Bay is a favourite surfing spot.
Hiking in Grand Etang
Grand Etang National Park and Forest Reserve contains numerous marked trails, with gentle half-hour walks or expeditions of several hours. The park contains a wealth of interesting flora and fauna, and there are spectacular flower displays depending on the season.
Spectacular waterfalls
Grenada's most spectacular waterfalls are the 15m (50ft) Annandale Falls and Mount Carmel Waterfall, which has two falls cascading over 21m (70ft) to clear pools below. You can swim in several of the islands' rainforest pools and lakes, many of which are formed by waterfalls, such as the Concord Falls.
Sailing festival
Yacht races and regattas are held throughout the year on Grenada. The Sailing Festival in January (www.grenadasailingfestival.com) is the biggest and attracts yachtsmen from all over the world. The sailing regatta in Tyrell Bay on Carriacou is also popular. The Grenadine islands are a popular sailing destination.
Caribbean rum
Discover how rum is made on a guided tour of one of the island's main rum distilleries. At the Grenada Sugar Factory in St George (www.clarkescourtrum.com), guided tours include a tasting and opportunity to purchase its rum products.
Dive sites
Grand Anse beach is the starting point for diving trips to nearby reefs and islands. One of the best dive sites is Molinière Reef, about 5km (3 miles) from St George's. Carriacou, in the Grenadines offers excellent diving. Keen snorkellers should head to White Island Marine Park and Martin's Bay, close to Grand Anse.
