Levera covers Grenada's northeastern corner, where a long beach faces the Atlantic with Sugar Loaf island offshore, backed by mangrove and a brackish pond that is one of the island's most important bird sites. Leatherback turtles come ashore on the beach between March and July and a monitoring programme runs through the season. The water here is rough and the beach is not for swimming. The park also takes in Sandy Island and Green Island offshore, both part of the protected area.
What you actually see
- The nesting beach - leatherback turtles coming ashore from March to July.
- The mangroves - the wetland behind the beach.
- Levera Pond - the brackish water and its birdlife.
- Sugar Loaf island - the rock standing offshore beyond the surf.
When to go
March to July is turtle nesting season and the reason most people come. December to May is drier generally. The Atlantic surf here is heavy year round.
Honest expectations
Swimming is dangerous because of currents and should not be attempted. Turtle watching must go through the monitoring programme rather than independently. The last stretch of road is rough and facilities are minimal.
Nearby
Bathway Beach is west, and Sauteurs is southwest.
