Although not an actual restaurant, Fish Fry is a famous event that takes place every Friday evening in the island’s fishing capital, the coastal town of Gouyave. With options like shrimp, fish cakes, jerked marlin, lobsters, snapper, and more, the official end time is 11pm, but live music, dancing, and delicious food continue long through the night.

FOR HIKING WITH A TWIST…
Officially known as the Hash House Harriers, this group in Grenada has been meeting every Saturday since 1985 for a walk or run through the beautiful Grenada terrain. Commonly referred to as “hashing”, this event started when British soldiers decided they needed to run off the excess booze and food from the weekend. It has now turned into a weekly event comprising 50 to 500 locals, expats, students, and tourists.
FOR AN UNFORGETTABLE DIVING EXPERIENCE…
Dive Grenada, an award-winning PADI dive shop and BSAC resort, is located on Grand Anse Beach and is recognised as one of the leading dive centres in Grenada. With the opportunity to visit reefs, shipwrecks, drift sites, and more, Dive Grenada doesn’t just take you diving; it offers over 100 years of experience and passion for all the natural beauty and wonders of the islands.
