So this is where I shut up (at least for a little bit), and where you start your sneak preview of things to come<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"420\" height=\"315\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/jFP7TCwZkHc?rel=0\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Two quick minutes of people having fun on Grand Anse Beach &#8230; along with some really cool Reggae music<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"420\" height=\"315\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Y8-txDyipEw?rel=0\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s tap the beat up a bit with some sweet steel pan music and two more minutes of Grand Anse Beach fun &#8230;<\/p>\n<p><br clear=\"all\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Choosing the Best Spot<\/h3>\n<p>With two miles of perfect white sand there is something for everyone. You can sub divide grand anse beach in three parts: <em>The South Side, The Park Side, The North Side<\/em>, each is as lovely as the other but suit different tastes.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>The South Side<\/strong><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"left\" src=\"https:\/\/grenada-beaches.com\/images\/grand-anse-beach-IMG_0768.jpg\" alt=\"grand anse beach spice island inn grenada beaches\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" \/>\n<p>Stroll down to the south end and you are sure to see a few couples enjoying the scenery and each others company.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Insert yourself in these beach chairs<\/strong>. The further south you go on grand anse beach the more secluded it gets.<\/p>\n<p>The famous and pricey Spice Island Inn Resort is located on this side, so it is normal to see guests enjoying the beach. But it is still <strong>the quietest, and most private part of Grand Anse Beach.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li><strong>The Park Side<\/strong>Use the Camahogne Park entrance to get to The Park Side. Here&#8217;s a few things about this part the beach:\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"left\" src=\"https:\/\/grenada-beaches.com\/images\/grand-anse-beach-DSC03615.jpg\" alt=\"grand anse beach view of st. george grenada beaches\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" \/><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Most accessible entry point if you are not driving. The <strong>bus stop is a 3 minute stroll away.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Most convenient parking<\/li>\n<li><strong>It&#8217;s the middle of the beach<\/strong> &#8230; easy to go South Side or North Side from here<\/li>\n<li><strong>Favorite spot of the Locals<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Shopping Mall right across the street<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Here is a shot of the capital St George across the waters in the distance, from directly in front of the Park Side entrance.<\/p>\n<p>This is one of the things that make Grand Anse beach so special &#8230; the view of the green rolling hills and the back drop of the city.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The North Side<\/strong><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"left\" src=\"https:\/\/grenada-beaches.com\/images\/grand-anse-beach-004.jpg\" alt=\"grand anse beach vendors market grenada beaches\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" \/>Further up on the North side you will find mainly hotel guests soaking up the Grenadian sunshine. <strong>This side of Grand Anse Beach can be filed with beach chairs and tourists when several cruise ships are in port<\/strong>.\n<p>The vendors market is also on the this side of the Grand Anse beach. There you can do some <strong>shopping for local crafts, spices and apparel<\/strong>, that make great gifts. So even if you prefer the Park Side or South Side, you might want to <strong>swing by the vendors market and see what tickles your fancy.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3>Braids, Serenade and Straw Hats &#8230;<\/h3>\n<p>Wherever you might be on the beach expect a kind vendor or two to come by and offer to braid your hair, serenade you with local calypso, or maybe make you an authentic coconut straw hat on the spot. Its all part of the Grand Anse experience. I<strong>f you are not interested a polite no thank you is normally enough to get the vendor to move along<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/grenada-beaches.com\/favorite-grenada-beaches.html\">Return from Grand Anse Beach to My Favorite Beaches<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/grenada-beaches.com\/index_2.html\">Return from Grand Anse Beach to Grenada Beaches Home<\/a><\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As a young boy growing up, nothing could compare to a day on Grand Anse Beach.
