Magazine Beach

Grenada Island


The final port of call for travelers getting a last-minute dose of sea and sand before hopping on a plane, Magazine Beach has been nicknamed by locals 'the Caribbean’s prettiest departure lounge.' Its white sands and invigorating waters are bordered by a picturesque tumble of boulders at its southern end. It boasts fine snorkeling right from the shore.
