Melody's pickGrand Anse is gorgeous, but I'd go to Morne Rouge, just over the hill. It's a calm, sheltered little bay that feels like a secret, and the swimming is lovely. Treat yourself to lunch with a view while you're there.

Port-specific access research
Mobility & accessibility in Grenada
Grenada’s forts and inland waterfalls should not be grouped under a general accessible-island label. Published tourism descriptions do not supply a complete wheelchair route for the historic sites.
Published sources reviewed October 17, 2026. This is desk research, not an on-site access audit. Access can change with the ship, berth, equipment and operating conditions.
Attractions and excursions: what changes the choice
Fort Matthew
Historic tunnels; step-free route unverified
Grenada Tourism describes a Richmond Hill fort with an underground tunnel network. Its listing does not specify ramps, gradients, doorway widths or accessible toilets. A scenic vehicle stop outside is different from a promised accessible tunnel tour.
Grenada Tourism describes a forty-minute rainforest trek to the first cascade and rugged trails between the waterfalls, and advises using a guide. This is a hiking excursion, not a documented step-free viewpoint. Choose a different principal stop if your device cannot handle that terrain; do not infer access from an easier tour label.
Planning suggestion: Arrange a scenic drive with individually confirmed stopping points and a prechecked cultural venue, replacing inaccessible tunnels or waterfall hikes.
Confirm before booking
