Victoria is the main settlement of Saint Mark, the smallest parish in Grenada, strung along the west coast road below the bulk of Mount St. Catherine with the sea on one side and the mountain rising behind. It is a working fishing and farming town rather than a resort, and it is the place trips into the northwestern interior are arranged from, including the walk to Tufton Hall. The road north from here runs on to Sauteurs and the top of the island.

What you actually see

  • The mountain backdrop - Mount St. Catherine rising directly behind the town.
  • The fishing beach - boats worked off the shore in front of the town.
  • The parish centre - the main settlement of Grenada's smallest parish.
  • The interior access - where guides for the northwest walks are found.

When to go

Year round. January to May is drier for the interior walks arranged here. Fishing activity is heaviest in the early morning.

Honest expectations

There is little in the town for a visitor and it works as a base. Accommodation is very limited. The chocolate factory is the main formal attraction.

Nearby

Tufton Hall is inland, and Gouyave is south.
