St. George’s, this capital city of Grenada, is a gem of the 18th century with colonial buildings crowned by orange fish-scale tiles that mingle between multi-colored homes along an emerald green backdrop. Surrounding the inner harbor, St. George’s offers much to see. Stroll along the narrow streets, perusing the shops and smelling aromas drifting from the area’s many great restaurants and bars. Make your way to Bay Gardens, and marvel at over 3,000 species of Caribbean plants.The Carenage along the inner harbor is perfect for a scenic waterfront walk and on Saturdays, the place to be is St. George’s Market Square. To the west and south, you’ll find the white sandy shores of Grand Anse, a 2-mile long cosmopolitan beach with excellent dining and nightlife. Overlooking the harbor to the west, Fort George is an area landmark built in 1705 by the French that offers spectacular views from its hilltop location and many of the buildings are open to visitors. Port Louis Marina, home to The Moorings base, is just across the harbor from St. George’s and is a superb facility with many onsite amenities.
