History of Levera Beach

Levera Beach was once home to the indigenous Amerindian tribes, specifically the Arawaks and later the Caribs. These early inhabitants left behind numerous archaeological sites, including pottery shards and petroglyphs that speak to their rich cultural heritage and intricate craftsmanship. The area was a vital part of their daily life, serving as a source of food, with its abundant marine life and fertile surroundings.
During the 17th and 18th centuries, Levera Beach and its surroundings became part of the colonial sugar plantation economy that dominated Grenada. The fertile lands behind Levera Beach were cultivated to grow sugar cane, which was processed in nearby mills. This period saw the forced labor of African slaves, whose descendants form a significant part of Grenada’s population today.
Levera Beach played a strategic role during the Battle of Grenada in 1779. The French and British naval forces clashed near these shores as part of their broader struggle for control over the Caribbean islands. The French victory in this battle led to a brief period of French control over Grenada, which significantly influenced the island's culture and architecture.
In the late 20th century, efforts to preserve Grenada’s natural beauty and biodiversity culminated in the establishment of Levera National Park in 1992. This protected area includes Levera Beach and its surrounding wetlands, lagoons, and coastal forests. The park is a sanctuary for various species of wildlife, including leatherback turtles that come to nest on the beach, and is crucial for conservation and eco-tourism.
Levera Beach holds a special place in the hearts of Grenadians and visitors alike. It is a popular spot for traditional cultural activities, such as fishing festivals and community gatherings. The beach continues to be a vital part of local traditions, reflecting Grenada’s strong connection to the sea and its natural environment.
