Moderate Activity
Be sure to read the Special Notes further down this page for important requirements and restriction.
WHAT YOU VISIT
- Fort Frederick
The best preserved of all the Grenadian forts, the French began construction of Fort Frederick in 1779 and the British completed it 12 years later. Nicknamed the "backwards facing fort," you'll note that the cannons face inland instead of out to sea. The fort was abandoned in 1850 until it was later occupied by the Grenadian military.
- Fort George**
Situated on a volcanic spine 175 feet above the harbor of St. George's, the structure was built by the French and originally named Fort Royal between 1705 and 1710.
- Grand Anse Beach
This two-mile stretch of creamy-white sand overlooks a sheltered bay lined with hotels, restaurants and shops. Enjoy free time to stroll on the beach, stretch out on the sand or dive into the welcoming turquoise waters.
PHOTO OPPORTUNITY
Perched atop Richmond Hill in the heart of St. George's, the fort complex offers postcard pretty views. From this vantage point you can look southward onto the town of St. George's and admire the pretty harbor and Georgian buildings in the Carenage and northward to the rolling mountain ridges that are covered in lush vegetation and quaint houses.
WHAT YOU SEE ALONG THE WAY
St. George overflows with lovely 19th century buildings. As you make you way down Lucas Street to Fort George, you'll pass the the ruins of Government House, a fine example of Georgian architecture.
