Just a short drive from Petite Anse Hotel, Bathway Beach offers a beautiful setting where visitors can relax, swim, enjoy local food and experience a more authentic side of Grenada.

Where is Bathway Beach?
Bathway Beach is located in St Patrick on Grenada’s north coast, approximately 15 minutes from Petite Anse Hotel.
The beach sits between Levera Beach and River Antoine, making it easy to combine with other popular attractions in northern Grenada.
Its convenient location makes it one of the easiest and most rewarding excursions for guests staying in the north of the island.
What Makes Bathway Beach Special?
Bathway Beach is famous for its beautiful natural setting and protected swimming area.
Offshore reefs help create calmer conditions in certain parts of the bay, making it more suitable for swimming than some other Atlantic-facing beaches on the island. Conditions can vary, however, and visitors should always take care and assess the sea before entering the water.
The beach is also popular because it offers a balance of natural beauty and convenience, with local food vendors often nearby and plenty of space to relax beneath the Caribbean sun.
Swimming at Bathway Beach
One of the reasons Bathway is so popular is the natural pool area created by offshore reefs.
During calm conditions, visitors can enjoy paddling, swimming and cooling off in the sheltered waters. Families particularly appreciate the protected areas, although supervision of children is always recommended.
As with all beaches, sea conditions can change and visitors should exercise caution.
Local Food and Island Life
Bathway Beach offers more than just beautiful scenery.
At weekends and on public holidays, the beach often becomes a gathering place for local families and friends. Visitors may find food vendors selling local dishes, drinks and snacks, creating a lively but relaxed atmosphere.
For travellers seeking an authentic Grenadian experience, Bathway provides an opportunity to enjoy the beach alongside local residents rather than in a heavily developed resort environment. There are food vendors in a purpose built building and a newly built bar is along the beach.
