Tips when travelling
Grenada is tourist-friendly but has some key cultural and legal rules:
Do not dress in camouflage clothing, as it is illegal for anyone, including children.
Be aware that currents can be strong at beaches, and not all have lifeguards, so get local advice before swimming.
Agree the taxi fare in local currency with the driver before you set off to avoid being overcharged.
Make sure your accommodation is secure, including if you're staying on a yacht.
Avoid isolated areas, including beaches, after dark.

Frequently asked questions
British citizens do not need a visa to enter Grenada for tourism purposes for stays up to 90 days. You will need to present a valid passport with at least six months validity remaining.
Grenada is generally considered a safe destination for tourists. However, petty crime can occur, so it's important to take precautions such as not leaving valuables unattended and being aware of your surroundings, especially at night.
The best time to visit Grenada is generally between December and April, during the dry season. The weather is sunny and less humid during these months, making it ideal for enjoying the beaches and outdoor activities.
Lightweight, breathable clothing is recommended due to the tropical climate. Swimwear is suitable for the beach, but more conservative attire is appreciated when visiting towns and villages. A light rain jacket may be useful during the rainy season.
While tap water is generally treated, it is recommended to drink bottled or purified water to avoid any potential stomach upsets. This is especially important for those with sensitive stomachs.
The local currency in Grenada is the Eastern Caribbean Dollar (XCD). US dollars are also widely accepted, especially in tourist areas. Credit cards are accepted in many establishments, but it's always a good idea to have some cash on hand.
Grenada is a relatively conservative society, so it's advisable to dress modestly when visiting religious sites or local villages. Politeness and respect are valued, and it's customary to greet people with a friendly "Good morning" or "Good afternoon."
Public transportation is available in the form of minibuses, but they can be crowded and operate on irregular schedules. Taxis are readily available, but it's best to negotiate fares in advance. Renting a car is also an option, but be aware that driving is on the left-hand side of the road.
While we strive to provide accurate and up-to-date information, AtoBeach cannot be held responsible for any inaccuracies. We recommend verifying details with official sources before travelling.
