Exactly – I actually lived on Grenada for almost 2 years! Which some might think is crazy for such a small island, but I loved getting to know little unexplored corners and understand nuances over time.

Thank you, Ria!
Grenada is certainly and island gem. I’m glad you recalled some happy memories from reading my post. 🙂

Hi Joe,
The last time Cat commented on my blog was 6 years ago, so perhaps she won’t see your questions here. I invite any other commenters here who are or have recently been in Grenada to chime in!
In the meantime, I’ll do my best to answer your questions (with the caveat that the last time I was in Grenada was also many years ago).

1) There are quite a few adventure activities available in Grenada, however I wouldn’t have said it was a super adventurous island.
If you like trekking, check out the Hash Harriers club – they have a FB page with info on their regular hash runs. There are lots of lovely trekking opportunities on the island – most of which are day-trips.

2) There aren’t any specific adventure destinations within Grenada, but it’s a small island! You can drive around it entirely in half a day. Grand Anse would probably have the highest concentration of adventure activities (it would be where the majority of tourists/foreigners are), as well as St. Georges (the capital, and next to Grand Anse).

3) The internet is pretty good as I recall, assuming that’s what you mean by “connectivity”.

4) The weather is great year-round in Grenada! It’s just outside of the hurricane belt, though not immune of course. The hottest stickiest months are August and September; I love heat, but living through one hot season in Grenada without air conditioning (it’s really expensive), I decided I would remain off-island every August/September thereafter.

If Grenada is on your potential list, go for a visit and check it out yourself! And if you’re looking at settling there, I would suggest you go in the off season (August/September). High season anywhere offers the best any place has to offer; to get a true sense of whether you’d like to live somewhere, you need to see it (and accept it) at its least favourable time of year.

Hi Davey,
Before moving to Grenada permanently, I would highly recommend an extended visit to “feel out” the place. There are different areas of Grenada, each with a very different vibe. And yes – Grenada is most certainly best experienced with a vehicle. So especially for your first visit, I would suggest renting a car so you can explore all that this little island country has to offer.
Happy explorations!

Would you recommend it for me to move permanent (I love the scenary and quiet life you describe, but really I would want to get a car and some form of internet as I depend on these things….

great website btw, I remember reading this many years ago (maybe about Grenada or British Virgin Isles or some other place :P)

Hi Sharine,
I would say if you’ve lived there most of your life, you’re a local too! 😉
