How Many to Visit: I advise
one or two attractions a day, and about 8 to 12 across a week. That pace fits Grenada’s slow minibuses and afternoon showers, and it leaves time for swimming and for talking to locals, which is half the point here. Cramming in more costs you comfort and money in taxi fares for little extra gain.

Budget: Expect
US$40 to 75 a day with hostel or guesthouse beds, buses at about EC$2.50 to 4 a ride, local meals and one or two entry fees. Taxis between regions can add US$30 to 60, so buses give a backpacker the most for the money, even if they cost time.

don’t leave valuables on beaches or in parked cars. Wear sturdy shoes on wet trails and hike with someone after heavy rain. Dress modestly away from the beach, and greet people before asking for anything, a habit that matters locally. Ask before photographing people, and treat reefs and turtle nesting beaches gently, using reef-safe sunscreen.
