Thanks Beach = La Plywood NOT Grand Anse Plenty of shops/stalls selling alcohol, brickabat, souvenirs, spices etc., within the port covered area to satisfy the most discerning of shopper. Also there is an official taxi Despatcher Desk/Kiosk where rates are published, for Tours and the ride to Plywood. Your outward driver will be pleased have one book them for the return. Plywood did have bed rental, think it was $10 for two. La Plywood menu prices a ECD. As a rough calculation into USD divide by two then deduct 25% Edited September 4, 2023 by PORT ROYAL La 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m looking for a beach for the day and don’t want to ask for wrong beach area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s nice quiet shabby chic place, away from Babylon and T’erds of Grand Anse, with great views, tasty food and local gin shots, where one’s custom is valued. If this is what one wishes, then it’s a go to place. However, some like the Babylon masses of Grand Anse and all that goes with it, therefore GA is their go to place.

From about 4 in the afternoon liquid sunshine sometimes appears. So, before leaving on a cruise purchase some cheap plastic disposable Ponchos, for the pocket. Always take to a Caribbean Beach, if not used, then have for next time. If experiencing Liquid Sunshine then one can shelter in the bar (hardship) awaiting cab. Sadly, those on GA will have a Lemming stampede to the sea shuttle and have to Q in the rays.

knitdiva Posted November 30, 2023 #11 Share Posted November 30, 2023 First time in Grenada in January. I’m guessing taxi to La Plywood? How much? How long is the trip? There will be 5 or 7 of us. Also do they have chairs, umbrellas, shade? Looked online and saw pics of the restaurant and beach but saw no chairs or umbrellas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea on the price of a minivan taxi for one’s party, but think $35 e/w plus tip would more than cover it. Journey about 12/15 minutes, but allow 20 for the return in case of very heavy port traffic. Beds used to be $10 per pair. But best to message for private bed/umbrella group setup together with current prices, plus let them know the date, numbers etc. for the booking. One’s custom will be valued. A small gratuity would be appreciated by servers. Outward driver will be happy for a return booking at one’s time request. Driver will usually arrive early to put one’s mind at rest. Enjoy….
