Top places to visit in Grenada in July

The idea of it being wet puts off tourists visiting the Caribbean, making July a much quieter and more tranquil time of year. The start of the month is perfect for a relaxing getaway but be aware that toward the end of July tourism picks up in the lead-up to Carnival. Make the most of the low season and visit some of the popular sites in Grenada - take in a chocolate tour at Belmont Estate, stock up on spice at Dougaldston Estate, or take a walk through beautiful tropical flowers to Annandale Falls - a 10-metre waterfall tucked away between verdant vegetation.
