This 450-acre park boasts a diverse landscape of beaches, mangrove swamps, a lagoon, and offshore islands. The park's ecosystems provide a sanctuary for a wide array of wildlife, making it a haven for nature enthusiasts.

Birdwatchers can observe various waterfowl and wading birds, including the scarlet ibis, herons, black-necked stilts, and common snipes. The park also features coral reefs and seagrass beds that shelter lobsters and reef fish. Visitors can explore the park's natural beauty through hiking trails that wind through mangrove forests and coastal scrubland.

From Levera Beach, you can see the three offshore islands of Sugar Loaf, Green, and Sandy Islands. Levera National Park is also Grenada's only Ramsar site, designated as a Wetland of International Importance.
