Grenada in December: Weather, Crowds & What to Expect

St. George’s & West Coast (Grand Anse, Point Salines)

December usually feels fresh and festive as the trades blow consistently and humidity drops; St. George’s gears up for Christmas/New Year crowds. Grand Anse is popular with beachgoers escaping northern winters and restaurants run at full service-book ahead for the holiday weeks. Daytime is warm and pleasant while nights can be breezy, so pack a light layer for later strolls along the bay.

Northern & Atlantic Coast (Levera, Sauteurs, Levera National Park)

December returns to crisp trades and cooler nights on the Atlantic side; mornings can be brilliantly clear and the wind makes boating chopsier than the west coast. This is a scenic, less-crowded time to visit lookouts and listen for seabirds; swimming remains best in sheltered coves. Pack windproof clothing and expect dramatic sunrise skies that photographers prize.

Central Highlands & Grand Etang (Grand Etang Forest Reserve, Mount St. Catherine)

December returns to crisp, cooler conditions with mornings often misty but increasingly bright afternoons; the highlands are one of the best places to escape the coastal humidity. Clear days reveal panoramic views toward the coastline and Mount St. Catherine can be climbed under cool, pleasant conditions. Nights are cool-pack a warm layer-and guided walks are easy to arrange as lodges reopen for the dry season.

Carriacou & Petite Martinique (Sandy Bay, Hillsborough)

December returns to drier, breezy conditions and the islands feel festive as visitors arrive for the holidays; ferries can be busier around Christmas and New Year’s. Sandy beaches and sheltered bays are at their most inviting, and small hotels fill quickly-book early if holiday travel is planned. Expect warm days, cool evenings and reliable conditions for sailing and snorkeling.
