About these names

Grenada has parishes but no borough system for visitors; this table uses the small-area names from the clusters.

St George's is two waterfronts and a ridge: the Carenage on the inner harbour, the Esplanade and Market Square on the outer side, and Fort George on the hill above both. Grand Anse, with the main beach hotels, is about 10 km south by road; the airport is on the south-west tip past it.
