My name is Neville, but you can call me Gooch. I live in the Washington DC area, but I was born in Grenada. I don’t get to visit Grenada as often but I make it my duty to soak up some Grenada sun at least once or twice every year.
Why Grenada-Beaches?
I created the Grenada-Beaches site for two reasons. First, in 2005 I returned home for my first vacation in 7 years. I had a wonderful time, and rediscovered several things that I had forgotten about Grenada. Never wanting to forget those good times, I decided to create the Grenada-Beaches website.
Second, once I started building the website, and reliving those special moments, it crystallized how precious an island Grenada really is.
I’ve visited other Caribbean islands, and many of them have drawbacks: heavily commercialized, rising crime, and lacking Caribbean authenticity. Grenada is just the opposite –safe and modernizing– but not at the expense of that “island” feeling you expect and love.
I knew there had to be smart travelers who:
- were tired of fighting for a spot on the beach,
- longing for what the word Caribbean used to deliver: a hassle free place to unwind and chill out with friendly people.
Grenada is still all those things, and the Grenada-Beaches website just plays a small part in connecting smart travelers like you with a smart destinaton like Grenada.
Two of us together
So it started out being all about me, but now it’s about me and you (and Grenada of course). I’ll continue to write about the good (and not so good) things about Grenada, and you get the pleasure and confidence of planning an enjoyable, authentic Caribbean vacation that only Grenada can deliver. The Grenada-Beaches site takes the guesswork out of your vacation.

Great website Neville!!! Like you, I’m Grenadian born and breed. I’m away studying for the time being, but I can’t seem to get enough of anything Grenadian. The quality of your site is amazing, the pictures, the information – just wonderful! Now I’m totally homesick – thanks
. Keep up the good work.

Hi,
I came across your site while I was doing some research about Grenada. Eventhough I was born there I have to attest that I don’t know much about the place. Your site is pretty interesting. I never knew there were so many place to go and things to do. I was planning on going out there sometime in August but I canceled b/c I don’t know anywhere and hardly anyone. Now I plan on going in December and hopefully I can check those wonderful beaches. I’m really looking forward towards going to Pink Gin Beach. I’ve never heard of it before.
Thanks for the wonderful info on this site…btw I’m from NY.
Hi Kab,
I’m glad this site has inspired you a bit to take another look at Grenada. It’s really an awesome island as you will see. December is a great time to visit, as is August. Pink Gin beach you will enjoy… It’s the beach at La Source Resort. I’m sure by the time December rolls around you will know so much more about Grenada… Keep in touch.
Kindest Regards
Gooch
Found your site during a search of recipes from Grenada. Also live in the DC area – can’t wait until you post your recipes!
Gooch,
It’s good to see a website that promotes such a beautiful place. I just came back a couple of weeks ago – we spent a couple of weeks there and attended my girlfriend’s daughter’s wedding on Morne Rouge beach. Sunset, and that ever present beach dog…lol
I’ll send some pics if you like, and we can’t wait to go back. My girl is Grenadian by descent – daddy. Can’t tell you how much we miss that place….
Thank a lot for the work you have spend in your blog, I was researching a little bit about Grenada as this is the first stop of my cruise, and your site is a invaluable resource for those visiting the island.
Good work. Can’t get enough of the homeland. I try to visit at least once a year but after having lived abroad so (too) long I’m seriously thinking of moving back.
Would like to contribute some recipes and some of my poetry.
Let me know.
