Feel the wind whipping through your hair. That’s the magic of Breezy Point. Right here on this breezy peninsula you are standing at the very spot where a quarantine station once stood.

Breezy Point is more than just a viewpoint. It’s a silent witness to Grenada’s past. A reminder of a time when health concerns shaped travel and trade. It’s at the western edge of Grand Anse.
