Grenada Distillers Rum Factory
Today we explore the south and parts of the east coast of Grenada. Our first stop is the Grenada Distillers Rum Factory. For a few dollars you can tour the factory and of course stock up on your rum supplies.
A few kilometers down the road lies the Westerhall Rum Factory with its beautiful ruins. The grounds of the old distillery can be explored freely. You can also visit the newer factory and enjoy a rum tasting. There is a small museum and a shop. Open: Monday - Friday from 10:00 AM - 4:00 PM. Admission is free.
At the Laura Spice Garden
Just a few kilometers further, at the first roundabout toward Westerhall, we turn left to Pedmontemps and reach the Laura Spice Garden. This beautifully laid out plantation sits on the slopes of the rainforest and features all of Grenada's herbs and spices. A guided tour costs EC$ 15 and is especially worthwhile for herb enthusiasts, as you'll learn everything about the plants and their uses.
La Sagesse Bay - Grenada
Near Bacolet, we recommend a detour to La Sagesse Bay. There is a hotel and a bar with restaurant. The water is not very clear, as a river flows into the sea here. However, the beach is shallow and well suited for children.
Royal Mount Carmel Waterfall
The Royal Mount Carmel Waterfall on the east coast is a bit hidden. The entrance is close to the junction where the waterfall is signposted (it looks like a garden gate and can easily be explored without a guide). Otherwise, be sure to agree on a price for the guided tour beforehand, or it can get expensive - (rip-off). Admission EC$ 3.
St. George's Town
Afterwards, a visit to the capital St. George's Town is well worth it. You can find a walking tour of St. George's Town with lots of photos here: Walking Tour St. George's Town
