Dragon Bay

What secrets do the shimmering sands of Dragon Bay hold? Dragon Bay, nestled in the charming village of Moliniere, Grenada, is more than just a picturesque postcard. It’s a stage where the drama of nature and human history unfolds. Dragon Bay boasts a 200-meter crescent of golden sand. This beautiful bay is located between Flamingo Bay and the Underwater Sculpture Park. The snorkeling here is some of the best in Grenada. You can access Dragon Bay by taking a short bus ride from St. George’s towards Gouyave. Just let the driver know you’re heading to the Underwater Sculpture Park. From the road, a short walk leads you to a restaurant and changing facilities, then to the bay itself. Reefs flank both sides of the cove, teeming with vibrant marine life. Be warned: the right side, closer to the sculpture park, offers incredible snorkeling but boasts a strong current. Swimming back can be a challenge. Although the long stretch of beach might tempt you to swim across the cove, resist the urge. The shallow water hides a surprising number of sea urchins. It’s best to return the way you came. Dragon Bay is a protected marine area. You’ll need a bracelet to snorkel here. These are readily available for a small fee from the Grenada Tourism Authority, dive shops, or most hotels. Patrols regularly check for bracelets, so make sure to wear yours. Beyond the snorkeling, Dragon Bay offers another unique treasure: sea glass. The beach is known for its abundance of thick, colorful sea glass, even more so than Pandy Beach. So, as you stroll along the sands of Dragon Bay, keep your eyes peeled for these ocean-tumbled gems, each one a tiny piece of history washed ashore.
