Great harbour to walk around with views, historic buildings, ferries and freight boats being loaded with all types of produce, fishing boats landing their catch and a few bars and cafes to relax in.
It is an ok place to walk with all the boats docked and center of St. Georges close by. Grenada by itself is not big so if you are looking for great entertainment etc don't look here
It is a great place to look at local fishing boats, schooners or to catch an Osprey or Rhum Runner catamaran. it is nice to see a working harbor and to see its inner workings. There are plenty of restaurants along the Carenage and plenty of history to check out too.
If you're touring the island or going to market in St. Georges, catching the Osprey Ferry, or headed out on a day trip by sea, you'll most likely see Carenage. It is a beautiful sight, with all the brightly colored buildings that line the bay. Dotted by the steeples of churches and watched over by the Fort it is worth seeing, but will take you only a small amount of time.
An area of working boats in various states of repair, there is also the Italian monument and the old British phone boxes, sometimes inhabited. A lovely place to walk and soak up local atmosphere.
Lots of character in terms of the buildings but also the people - lots going on, from fishermen to luxury boats to tourists. Take a walk!
Scenic waterfront with buildings made of brick and narrow streets. Felt safe walking the streets as there were lots of people walking around as well either in work clothes or other tourists sightseeing.
Great sightseeing, great friendly people, The streets were not littered, and I did not see any vagrants.
The Carenage in St George is around the beautiful round harbour, but seemed sadly run down, with some ruined buildings. The excellent Nutmeg restaurant is still there, though, and well worth a visit.
We were fortunate enough to attend the first Live at the Caranage event in January 2015. It was amazing to watch aboard the Rhum Runner. It's such a shame that this was not publicised - I do believe we were the only tourists on the boat. I think the rest of the group was made up of locals and expats. Something like this deserved to be advertised.
