Grenada - Southcoast anchorages

We spent 6 weeks enjoying the safe, comfortable and convenient anchorages on Grenada's south coast. The majority of our time we were in Prickly Bay where we enjoyed swimming off the beach that fronted the beautiful Calabash hotel, as well as "sun-downers" at their beach bar.
A nightly "happy hour" offered at the Prickly Bay tiki-bar made it an excellent place for locals and cruisers of all ages to gather for dinner or drinks. As an added treat, on Friday nights, a band entertained for the evening. We continue to enjoy the company of many new friends we met there.
The southcoast area offered the convenience of many nearby chandleries, marinas, haul-out and repair facilities, as well as access to very inexpensive and amazingly excellent bus service to the markets (fish, meat, fruit/vegetables, spice), malls, grocery stores and the rest of the island.
We enjoyed the ease of availability to Grenada's wealth of resources, the cruiser's net that operates daily and the locals welcoming friendliness.
Grenada's commitment to the tourist industry is evident by the surge in commercial growth the island is experiencing.
