Discover The Lime
Accommodation in The Lime
The Lime in Grenada can be understood through specific location details and the varied attractions of the wider destination of St George. One tangible accommodation example is South Winds Apartments: this small, family-run property in The Lime offers spacious, simply furnished apartments and cottages. It is approximately a five-minute drive from Maurice Bishop International Airport, about 500 yards from Grand Anse Beach, and three miles from Grenada’s capital, St. George’s. The approximate drive time to the airport and the two distance figures provide different points of reference for the location of South Winds.
St George: History and cityscape
History and architecture are a distinct focus in the wider destination of St George. The Grenada National Museum is housed in one of Grenada’s oldest buildings, in downtown St. George’s. It is dedicated to preserving, interpreting, and promoting the history and culture of Grenada, Carriacou, and Petite Martinique. Much of the historic architecture in St. George’s dates from the 19th century; buildings along the Carenage offer examples.
The forts also tell different parts of this history. Fort Matthew was built between 1784 and 1790. Its 18th-century bathrooms, army kitchens, and cell blocks have largely been preserved; visitors can walk through the surviving tunnel system. Confirm current access conditions locally. Fort Frederick is one of the best-preserved bastions in the Caribbean and overlooks the harbor of St. George’s. From there, panoramic views extend from the nearby Carenage and the Caribbean Sea to the forested ridges in the north.
St George: Nature, coast, and underwater world
The landscape offers a variety of facets across the wider destination of St George. Richmond Hill offers views from the edge of the volcano. The Mt Hartman protected area safeguards the Grenada dove, while Dragon Bay has coral reefs. Grand Anse Beach is two miles long, with white sand and calm turquoise water. It also offers water sports, as well as an arts and crafts and spice market.
The Underwater Sculpture Park is located in the Molinere Beauséjour Marine Protected Area; it is an underwater gallery and snorkeling site. The sculptures function as an artificial reef that attracts marine life. The Coral Carnival installation provides a cultural connection: its 25 large-scale works depict masked figures from Spicemas, the carnival held annually in August. Art, marine life, and carnival themes come together here.
Nature and visitor experiences also come together in different ways on land. Annandale Waterfalls form a 30-foot cascade in a garden with colorful flowers and tropical vegetation. There is also an interpretation center about the surrounding ecosystem at the waterfalls. The pool below is suitable for a gentle, relaxing swim, alone or with family; check the current conditions locally before swimming. Smithy’s Garden is open to the public by prior appointment and features rainforest plants. The garden at The Tower Estate contains extensive collections of heliconias, bromeliads, and ginger lilies.
St George: Spices and dining
For an introduction to Grenada’s spices, De La Grenade Nutmeg Garden takes visitors through an aromatic garden; the tour includes tastings of beverage concentrates, syrups, jams, and La Grenade liqueur. The garden also presents the historical, traditional, and medicinal uses of Grenada’s spices. The Tower Estate offers a different culinary focus, with afternoon teas, estate lunches, and culinary safaris. Confirm the current details of these offerings before your visit.
