How to spend a quiet Sunday in Grenada!

Sunday, many things are closed as Grenadians are encouraged to spend the day with their families. We decided to head to Magazine Beach (aka BBC Beach - not sure why) - and have another beach day. One reason for choosing this beach was we had heard that the Aquarium Restaurant had a great BBQ including local music and usually hosted a good mix of visitors and locals.

...and the view to the right!

We enjoyed the sunshine and there were lots of local families there - they brought their BBQs and picnics, plus footballs and cricket bats.

local kids - these little boys ran up and down the beach for hours!



Later, we headed over to the BBQ - and by the time we got in - our late lunch turned into an early supper. Which was okay - we enjoyed the view from the beachside tables - and the food was quite good - not quite as good as I expected from all the reviews - but it was good. The best thing was dessert - fresh coconut cake!! I think the next blog I start might be "Desserts I have known and loved!"

We sat and enjoyed the Reggae band until they were finished (yes - Barry listened to more than 1/2 song of Reggae) - and then headed back to Woburn. It is amazing how doing nothing can really tire you out!

Beach Bums - for a day anyways!

After getting the car on Tuesday and figuring out the road and the layout of Grenada, we decided that Wednesday should be our first official beach day.

We have visited two other beaches for a walk about - Grand Anse on Sunday and Hope beach on Tuesday. Grand Anse is on the Caribbean, and Hope is on the Atlantic.

For our first official beach day, we decided to try Magazine and Morne Rouge. Magazine was nice, but a steep drop off from the beach to the ocean - and lots of coral close to the beach. We are going back there on Sunday for the traditional BBQ at the Aquarium.


Morne Rouge Beach - looking to the right

We both decided that we loved Morne Rouge - it is in a sheltered bay - so very calm and gradually gets deeper - the best part - I think there might have beeen 25 people on the whole beach! We rented beach chairs - but will rent them from a different place next time - there is a beach bar where you get the chairs for nothing if you purchase any drink - even coke!
