Grand Anse

Grand Anse is a two-kilometer stretch of white sand on Grenada's southwest coast. Facing the Caribbean Sea, it is protected by a coral reef system that supports diverse marine life. The beach is a crucial nesting site for leatherback turtles, with monitoring programs in place during spawning seasons. The adjacent Grand Anse Commercial District houses businesses, hotels, and a popular craft market. Economically, tourism here contributes significantly to Grenada's GDP, with the beach attracting over 200,000 visitors annually. The area also includes a small fishing community that relies on the surrounding waters. The beach is a focal point for cultural events such as the annual Spice Island Beach Festival.
