carenage

A really beautiful harbour, one of the best ports of call for the cruise ship. Plenty of places to drink beer and eat lunch. A lovely place to watch the world go by.

An area of working boats in various states of repair, there is also the Italian monument and the old British phone boxes, sometimes inhabited. A lovely place to walk and soak up local atmosphere.

It is an ok place to walk with all the boats docked and center of St. Georges close by. Grenada by itself is not big so if you are looking for great entertainment etc don't look here

Great sightseeing, great friendly people, The streets were not littered, and I did not see any vagrants.

Scenic waterfront with buildings made of brick and narrow streets. Felt safe walking the streets as there were lots of people walking around as well either in work clothes or other tourists sightseeing.

It was great to walk by Carenage on our trip. The scenic walk was colorful and lively as the boats came in with produce and goods.

Lots of character in terms of the buildings but also the people - lots going on, from fishermen to luxury boats to tourists. Take a walk!

Great harbour to walk around with views, historic buildings, ferries and freight boats being loaded with all types of produce, fishing boats landing their catch and a few bars and cafes to relax in.

Beautiful views of old Grenada and harbour -BB Crabback and Nutmeg restaurants a must for food and views

The Carenage from afar looks picturesque, but once you are there, it is run down and not filled with too much to tempt someone to spend a lot of time there. Most of the boats docked are fishermen or industrial in nature, and the water by the boats is not clean.BB's Crabback is a tasty restaurant at the end of the Carenage, and the Nutmeg Restaurant looks tempting as well (we did not go there), but the rest of the shops on the waterfront are either businesses or industrial. There is a TON of potential for this to become a nightlife destination for both locals and tourists, but right now, there isn't enough variety or pull to bring people there. Other than Friday night, the area was empty once it became dark. Friday night, locals hang out outside the shops. I can't comment on Saturday nights, however.If there were a few more restaurants, bars or attractions that could appeal to BOTH locals and tourists (without being overly cheap, flashy or touristy), this would be a destination to remember. If I had a few hundred thousand dollars to my name, I'd be a part of the solution, not just some random guy on a rant...

The Carenage in St George is around the beautiful round harbour, but seemed sadly run down, with some ruined buildings. The excellent Nutmeg restaurant is still there, though, and well worth a visit.

We were fortunate enough to attend the first Live at the Caranage event in January 2015. It was amazing to watch aboard the Rhum Runner. It's such a shame that this was not publicised - I do believe we were the only tourists on the boat. I think the rest of the group was made up of locals and expats. Something like this deserved to be advertised.

If you're touring the island or going to market in St. Georges, catching the Osprey Ferry, or headed out on a day trip by sea, you'll most likely see Carenage. It is a beautiful sight, with all the brightly colored buildings that line the bay. Dotted by the steeples of churches and watched over by the Fort it is worth seeing, but will take you only a small amount of time.

It is a great place to look at local fishing boats, schooners or to catch an Osprey or Rhum Runner catamaran. it is nice to see a working harbor and to see its inner workings. There are plenty of restaurants along the Carenage and plenty of history to check out too.

We've been going several times a year to Grenada since 1995. The Carenage used to be the "heart of the city", since the new cruise ship terminal opened it has run down quite a bit.
