Grenada

Grenada is the Spice Isle of the Caribbean, a compact volcanic island where rainforest, waterfalls, plantations and long calm beaches sit within an hour of each other. The capital St. George's wraps around a horseshoe harbor below the hilltop Fort George, Grand Anse Beach runs for nearly two miles of pale sand, and the interior holds the crater lake of Grand Etang, Annandale Falls and the Seven Sisters trail. Off the west coast, the Molinière Underwater Sculpture Park turns a snorkel trip into an art visit, and at Belmont Estate you can follow cocoa from tree to chocolate. This guide picks the best of it: a sculpture park snorkel cruise, a waterfall hike, river tubing, a clear kayak tour and a sunset sail, plus the free sights worth your time. It is built for cruise-port days as much as for longer stays, then matches you with the right hotel, from a beachfront suite on Grand Anse to an all-inclusive resort at Pink Gin Beach.
