Living in St. George’s, Grenada:
Tips for Moving and Visiting

What a paradise one finds when moving to Grenada, but paradise can come with challenges. The beauty of the island is unmatched, so anyone looking for rolling hills, swaying palm trees, and crystal blue water lapping on white beaches will love it! If you’re planning on living here, though, you need to know that your appreciation for the beauty can be interrupted by the following:

Banks close at 2:00 PM. Do your banking early.
It’s difficult to reach anyone on the phone at the government. Go in person.

The Port may close at 4:00 PM, but the cashier closes at 3:30. Don’t learn this the hard way like I did.

Don’t be afraid to ask for help. Grenadians are VERY helpful. No need for AAA or CAA car insurance here.

Someone moving to St. George’s should be prepared to travel by airplane, They should pack light clothing for comfort. They should prepare to experience the beauty of nature. If moving here one must realize the culture is different in many ways from living in the US but it is like paradise.

Before moving to St, George’s, it’s imperative to understand that most of the nightlife, is centered around the south. Understanding this, will allow them to plan more effectively for their outings. For example, during the midday hours, the city center is a hub for locals to work, shop, and carry out other daily necessities. but being an island that is heavily invested and focused on tourism, when the afternoon comes, and it’s times to relax or simply meet up for a quiet dinner, party, or get together, the action quickly swings to the south, where almost all the pleasantries of a modern Caribbean paradise can be found.
