Paradise Beach… Is it Worth Missing The Ferry?<\/h2>\n

We heard so many good things about Paradise Beach that we were willing to risk missing our Ferry just to spend a few minutes on this Carriacou Beach<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"paradise<\/p>\n

Our only regret while visiting Carriacou was not having more time to spend on Paradise Beach.<\/p>\n

After an exciting morning on a Carriacou Tour<\/a>, followed by a delicious lunch at Callaloo’s Restaurant<\/a>, it was almost time to catch the Osprey Ferry back to Grenada<\/a>.<\/p>\n

After lunch we grab a bus in Hillsborough, and within 10 minutes we were strolling down paradise beach, sand between toes, looking for the perfect spot, a spend a few minutes.<\/p>\n

Paradise Beach is all Yours<\/h3>\n

One thing I can say with absolute certainty about Paradise Beach, and all Grenada Beaches for that matter is that on a weekday you would have the beach almost entirely to yourself.<\/p>\n

I counted one couple and two teenagers, add them to the three of us and that’s seven people sharing about a one mile long strip gorgeous Caribbean white sand<\/strong>. I don’t know about you but that felt like a good deal.<\/p>\n

The contrast between the green shade trees, the white sand, and the turquoise waters is paradise beach signature. Add the islands just off shore, and the mound capping off the south end, and paradise beach will always be a winner in any beach lovers book.<\/p>\n

Here are some pictures we took on Paradise Beach:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Carriacou Crafts and Souvenirs<\/h3>\n

Enjoying what little time we had on Paradise beach, I flirted with the idea of missing our ferry. And that was actually a nice thought. After all who won’t mind getting left in Paradise. But alas we had to rush back.<\/p>\n

While waiting for the bus we happened upon this cute little establishment selling local crafts, and casual wear. It is located right off the main road at paradise beach. The setup is out of a shipping container. Quite ingenious if you ask me.<\/p>\n

Hardwood Bar<\/h3>\n

Right across from the Souvenir Gift shop is the Hardwood Bar and Restaurant. And although we did not get a chance to drop in, I can tell from the action on the patio, that Hardwood Bar looks like a fun spot on paradise beach.<\/p>\n

Panicking… No Bus in Sight<\/h3>\n

Okay, it’s been like 10 minutes waiting and still no bus… clock is ticking away and my Ferry is no doubt about to leave without us<\/strong>. Assurance from the attendant at the gift shop that a bus will soon arrive is not helping at all… I am really getting nervous now!!<\/strong><\/p>\n

\nEmpty Road… where’s that Damn Bus!!<\/p>\n

Finally, a bus stopped, it’s Norbert our Carriacou Tour Guide, but he’s headed in the opposite direction.<\/strong> I had a quick decision to make:<\/p>\n
