10 Reasons to Vacation in Grenada

1. Beaches. About 45 of them, including Grand Anse, one of the best in the world.
2. Nature. Rainforest, monkeys, waterfalls, and Grand Etang Lake, where legend says a mermaid lives.
3. The Underwater Sculpture Park. At Molinière, the world's first. Reach it by boat from St George's or Grand Anse.
4. Food. From beach bars to local cookshops. Try oil down, the national dish, cooked island-wide at Independence.
5. Real island life. Less crowded than its neighbours, so the island still feels like itself.
6. Beautiful places to stay. Coyaba, Silversands and Mount Cinnamon, to name a few.
7. The Bianca C. The "Titanic of the Caribbean" is one of around 50 dive sites around the three islands.
8. Chocolate and rum. Tour the chocolate estates, and taste (carefully) the famously strong rum from River Antoine.
9. Culture. Steel pan, folk songs and dances, red, green and gold, and Independence every February, shaped by African, British and French roots.
10. It's safe. One of the Caribbean's safer islands. Use the usual care in quiet areas.
