At the southernmost tip of the Windward Islands in the Eastern Caribbean lies a beautiful island nation, which was named one of the "Top 10 Hottest Travel Destinations in the World for 2018" by The Wall Street Journal last year. With a population of only about 110,000, it is rich in natural resources, such as nutmeg, cocoa, bananas, and an abundance of seafood.
Before 2013, it was relatively unknown. However, since the enactment of its immigration legislation, a large number of clients have submitted immigration applications, causing this Caribbean island nation—previously known only in Europe and the Americas—to instantly explode in the Chinese immigration market and become a "new favorite" in the North American immigration sector. It is Grenada.
Grenada has always been a dream destination for many island enthusiasts. It boasts beautiful scenery, some of the world's best beaches and oceans, and is suitable for activities such as hiking and diving, not to mention its unforgettable seafood. It is said that its rum and chocolate are also very famous in Europe and the Americas. The annual Chocolate Festival in mid-May attracts tourists from all over the world, where people not only eat chocolate but also drink chocolate wine and even bathe in chocolate.
What are the famous and beautiful attractions in Grenada? What kind of Caribbean characteristics do they possess? Today, let us unveil this "back garden" of North America and see which scenery moves you the most?
Grand Anse Beach
Grand Anse Beach is located on the west coast of Grenada, in a leeward position. Furthermore, an outer bay embraces this snow-white beach like a mother, making the sea surface very calm and safe. It is deeply loved by domestic and foreign tourists and is known as the most moving beach in the Caribbean.
Grand Anse Beach is 2 kilometers long with fine, soft sand that feels very comfortable underfoot. The seawater is crystal blue and perfect for swimming. Moreover, various marine sports and entertainment facilities are fully equipped; whether you want to go diving, sailing, kayaking, or surfing, this place can meet your needs.
Underwater Sculpture Park
The Underwater Sculpture Park is located in the waters of Grenada, with the sculpture project beginning in May 2006. Each statue in the park is sculpted according to the proportions of real people. These statues were carved on land before being transported and fixed to the seabed. This is an environmentally friendly art palace, as many of the materials used for the statues are recycled for coral reef regeneration. These sculptures also undergo many subtle changes every day, making this sculpture park even more legendary.
Levera National Park
As a landmark of Grenada, Levera National Park serves as a great showcase for the country. It is home to 150 species of rare flora and fauna: palm trees, mangroves, coconut trees, and tropical rainforests, as well as marine species such as sperm whales, lobsters, reef fish, coral, and seaweed. With its natural white sand beach, rare leatherback turtles migrate thousands of miles here to breed.
La Sagesse Beach
La Sagesse Beach is located in the north of Grenada. It combines old British country houses, beautiful palm groves, mangroves, soft sand, and clear, inviting waters, making it an excellent tourist destination for leisure, relaxation, and appreciating natural beauty. La Sagesse Beach is famous for its tranquility and is one of the most well-known beaches in Grenada. It also has convenient transportation, being just 25 minutes away from the capital, St. George's, the famous Grand Anse Beach, and the international airport.
St. George's
St. George's is surrounded by mountains formed by a volcanic crater and serves as the capital of Grenada, as well as the country's political, cultural, and economic center. Built along the slopes, the city is surrounded by lush green mountains. The city streets are clean, lined with trees, and filled with blooming flowers, while brightly colored houses are dotted among the greenery, adding much beauty to the city.
St. George's is a world-renowned tourist destination. Its long history, beautiful natural scenery, and ancient traditional culture are well-preserved, attracting thousands of tourists, cruise ships, and celebrities. Visitors can visit the Grenada National Museum, Fort George, Annandale Falls, and more.
Morne Rouge Beach
Morne Rouge Beach, also known as BBC Beach, is located in the north of Grenada near the capital, St. George's, and is considered by many to be the best beach in Grenada. Morne Rouge Beach features white, fine sand and turquoise waters, and the surrounding environment is fresh and natural. It has become the favorite beach for Grenadians to go on vacation and is a beach that receives a thumbs-up from many returning tourists.
Morne Rouge Beach is tightly embraced by Morne Rouge Bay, so the waters where the beach is located are very calm, making it very suitable for children or teenagers to swim. It is an excellent choice for travelers with children.
Concord Falls
Concord Falls is located in the St. John's parish of Grenada. It is not a single waterfall but a combination of three waterfalls. The first waterfall is relatively easy to reach and is a great place for swimming, attracting many tourists. The second and third waterfalls are more secluded and can only be reached on foot.
This attraction is more suitable for hiking enthusiasts. The entire journey takes about 45 minutes, with beautiful mountains and clear waters, birds singing and flowers fragrant, and extremely fresh air along the way, providing a great opportunity to experience nature. The third waterfall is the most spectacular of the three; cool water rushes from a 65-meter cliff into the pool below, splashing crystal-clear water droplets, which is why it is named Fontainebleau Falls. A trip to Concord Falls will surely add a wonderful memory to your life.
