Grenada Airport to Grand Anse: All Transport Options

Grenada is a beautiful Caribbean island with so much to offer. Grand Anse means “Big Bay” in French, and it certainly lives up to its name. It’s one of the most-loved beaches on the island with fine white sand and a sparkling turquoise sea.

Transport from Grenada Airport to Grand Anse is limited. The most convenient method is to take a taxi or private transfer. It will take just 6 minutes to do the 5 km journey. Alternatively, you can take a bus from St. George’s city centre. You would need to take a taxi to St. George’s first and then a bus from the depot to Grand Anse. We don’t recommend this route because it can take a long time. Buses in Grenada don’t have set schedules or routes.

For an even more reliable, personalised option, we suggest booking a private transfer with an international company like Welcome Pickups. We’ll get you to Grand Anse’s centre or the door of your hotel or apartment promptly, in comfort and style, so that you can focus on enjoying your island holiday.

How to get from Grenada Airport to Grand Anse by bus

There is no direct bus from Grenada Airport to Grand Anse. Instead, you’ll have to take a taxi from the airport to St. George’s and then take a bus to Grand Anse from there.

This raises the cost of the trip overall and, although the average travel time is close to 40 minutes, the journey can take an undetermined amount of time.

The taxi to St. George’s itself takes around 25 minutes. You can catch a bus from 06:00 to 18:00 Monday to Saturday from St. George’s bus depot. Between those times, buses have no set departure schedule or routes though. They depart when each bus vehicle is full, which can take some time. Before you get on the bus, tell the driver where you need to go and they will add your stop to their route.

Once your bus departs St. George’s, the journey could take as long as 30 minutes or more depending on the total number of stops of the other passengers.
