Discover more about Levera Beach

Levera Beach is a captivating destination on Grenada's northern coast, offering a blend of natural beauty and ecological significance. Backed by low, eroding sea cliffs, the beach presents a wild and beautiful sweep of sand that attracts fewer visitors than other Grenadian beaches, contributing to its tranquil atmosphere. Just offshore, the high, pointed Sugar Loaf Island adds to the scenic views, while the Grenadine Islands dot the horizon to the north. The beach is part of Levera National Park, which encompasses diverse habitats, including woodland, dry scrub forest, mangrove wetlands, a brackish pond, seagrass beds, and coral reefs. This variety supports a rich diversity of bird species, making it a haven for birdwatchers. The calm waters are ideal for swimming and snorkeling. However, swimming is sometimes not recommended due to strong waves and dangerous currents. Levera Beach is also one of the Caribbean's most important nesting sites for endangered leatherback sea turtles. During nesting season, from March to August, the beach is often patrolled and may be subject to closures in the evening to protect these vulnerable creatures. Visitors interested in witnessing this natural spectacle can often arrange guided tours. While offering a serene escape, Levera Beach remains relatively undeveloped, with limited amenities. This adds to its untouched charm but requires visitors to come prepared with their own supplies.
