Grenada’s breathtaking natural beauty provides the perfect setting for a variety of activities that make for an unforgettable stay in paradise. The Market Square in St. George’s is the centre of activity in the capital. Indeed, the market has been the hub of St. George’s cultural life for two centuries and more. Other places of interest include the Grenada National Museum with its collection of archaeologically fascinating exhibits. The Belmont Estate, a 17th Century plantation, presents an authentic agri-tourism experience, offering guests a unique opportunity to observe and participate in the workings of a fully functional historic plantation. St Margaret’s Falls at Grand Etang National Park, known also as Seven Sisters Waterfalls (there are seven in the area), is one of Grenada’s most beautiful attractions. The visually stunning Grand Etang Lake, surrounded by a rainforest, is in an ancient crater some 1,300 ft. above sea level.
