Given that Grenada is a sleepy little Caribbean island, its unique history and blend of Caribbean infrastructure has allowed for a wonderful array of extraordinary gastronomy experiences to enjoy, plus unique shopping experiences and a plentiful night life scene to blow off some steam!
In preparation for the coming season, see what you might enjoy best...!
Shopping:
St George’s Market, on the northern side of the town, is Grenada’s main shopping attraction. In the covered hall, you can find a multitude of stalls selling spices – as pre-packaged selections or single bags of nutmegs, cloves etc – along with other local products such as nutmeg jams and syrups and vanilla essence. The market – at its liveliest on Saturday mornings – also has many colourful stalls piled high with exotic fruit and veg.
House of Chocolate is a unique and beautiful hand crafted mini-museum portraying the history of chocolate. It features a small café with delicious chocolates made onsite; you can also enjoy other treats including ice cream, cakes and drinks. A small boutique carries a selection of all things made with cocoa in Grenada. Art Fabrik specialises in upmarket, hand-created batik (beach wraps, dresses, napkins).

Prickly Bay – Just beyond L’Anse aux Epines beach, includes an open-air bar and pizza restaurant, both of which are popular with ex-pats, tourists and yachties.
