Discover more about Levera Beach

Levera Beach, located on the northeastern coast of Grenada, is a pristine and relatively untouched coastal gem within Levera National Park. The beach stretches for approximately 1 kilometer, featuring soft, golden sands that meet the clear turquoise waters of the Caribbean Sea. The surrounding landscape includes lush vegetation and rolling hills, creating a picturesque backdrop perfect for relaxation and nature enthusiasts. Levera Beach is a significant nesting site for endangered leatherback turtles, typically from March to August. During this period, guided tours offer visitors the unique opportunity to witness these magnificent creatures in their natural habitat. The beach is also home to diverse bird species, making it a haven for birdwatchers. The adjacent Levera Pond and mangrove habitats further enhance the area's ecological richness. While swimming is possible, caution is advised due to strong waves and currents. Snorkeling is a popular activity, with vibrant coral reefs located nearby. However, the beach's appeal lies primarily in its tranquil atmosphere and scenic beauty, ideal for picnics, sunbathing, and leisurely walks. Facilities are limited to maintain its untouched charm, so visitors are encouraged to bring their own refreshments. Levera's history includes remnants of Amerindian archaeological sites and former sugar plantations, offering glimpses into Grenada's past. Despite some development interests, the area remains largely supported by locals who favor conservation and eco-tourism.
