Miles and miles of white sand await you at Grand Anse Beach, a firm favourite with us here at Dream, where two miles of powdery soft sand meet the warm waters of the Caribbean sea with a majesty that is almost hypnotic.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The south west coastline of Grenada houses some of the best beaches the island has to offer. From Grand Anse Beach, sail west to beaches including Morne Rouge, a half crescent coastline with perfectly calm waters for mooring so that you can spend a day enjoying the warm sunshine and party atmosphere that this picturesque beach provides. Further west, you\u2019ll find Magazine Beach, with its quiet atmosphere and delicious dining options and Pink Gin Beach, an ideal beach for children, with calm waters and a gradually sloping descent into the clear, glistening ocean.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Mouthwatering cuisine<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of our favourite things about Grenada is the varied array of culinary delights that are on offer.

Nutmeg, ginger, mace, cinnamon and saffron are just some of the island\u2019s most popular exports, with nutmeg being of such importance to the country, that it appears prominently on the national flag.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">World Class sailing<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The waters surrounding Grenada are ideal for sailors of all abilities, with deep ocean trade winds blowing towards the shore that create excellent sailing conditions throughout the year.
