Owing its name to the abundant number of Guava trees that grow here, Gouyave is the pride of Grenada as more fish are caught here than anywhere else in the island. On your Friday visit here you will have the chance to sample some of the mouthwatering treats prepared with the freshest of the fish caught for the day. Grilled, fried, steamed or cooked they all result in the most finger-licking good delights.



This place is absolutely delightful in every way, yes it is noisy, it's action-packed, and it's all fun and all dancing with some unique characters offering impromptu comedy to entertain everyone. This is a place where you can really unwind and have a good time as you mingle with the locals. This town with its 9000 inhabitants prides itself on being the ""entertainment capital"" of the sensual Spice Island and you'll witness it through this in this folkloric Caribbean party.


The streets are closed off from traffic and lined with barbecue stalls and small kiosks selling tempting delights that are sure to get your taste buds screaming for more. With all the variety of dishes served here you'll be more than spoiled with choice, you can try the ever-popular fish cakes, the succulent shrimp, the barbecued snapper, the jerked marlin or the fry jacks. You won't be able to find such a wide collection of fresh and tasty Grenada seafood anywhere else and you surely won't be disappointed.
