Sandy Island, Grenada
Sandy Island Beach is the perfect way to spend the day when you want to relax and spend sometime in the calm blue waters of the Caribbean Sea. Located on the island of Carriacou which is situated off the southwest coastline of Grenada, Sandy Island Beach has a wonderful natural atmosphere for you to enjoy. After Hurricane Ivan in 2004, this Grenada beach was set aside as a nature and marine preserve. The beautiful white sand Sandy Island Beach has a different shape than most beaches as it protrudes outward from the island into the multi-colored Caribbean Sea. You will enjoy swimming and snorkeling amidst the numerous coral reef and sea grass beds which are protected just offshore. You can find some shade under a coconut tree or you can relish the warmth of the sun while visiting Sandy Island Beach. There are no services on this Grenada beach, so come prepared.
