St. George's lies on the sheltered west side of Grenada and looks out over the Caribbean Sea. The island's east coast faces the Atlantic Ocean, so on Grenada you can swim in both on the same day.

Pick one
Built in 1884, the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception dominates the town's skyline. Like many historic buildings in St. George's, it was severely damaged by Hurricane Ivan in 2004 but has since been lovingly restored to its former glory.
Pick one
The Sendall Tunnel is a narrow, 340-foot-long tunnel built in 1894 to allow carriages, and now modern cars, to easily bypass the steep hill separating the harbor from the town's northern side. It was named after Walter Sendall, who served as the governor at the time.
Pick one
The Carenage is the picturesque inner harbor of St. George's, serving as a lively waterfront area for fishing boats and water taxis. It is actually the water-filled crater of an extinct volcano, making it exceptionally deep and well-protected from heavy ocean swells.
Pick one
Fort Frederick is often called the backward-facing fort because its cannons point inland. The French realized that whoever controlled the high hills of Richmond Hill could easily bombard the town below, so they built it to defend against landward attacks rather than ships.
Pick one
Opened in 1976, the Grenada National Museum is housed in a structure built by the French in 1704 as barracks and a prison. The museum showcases the island's rich history, from its indigenous Ciboney roots to the colonial era and the 1979 revolution.

Pick one
Fort George was established by the French in 1705 as Fort Royal, before being renamed by the British in 1763. It sits on a promontory overlooking the harbor entrance, offering fantastic panoramic views. Today, it serves as the headquarters of the Royal Grenada Police Force, though visitors can still walk through its historic battlements and see the old cannons.
