Underwater Sculpture Park

I was so excited to see the sculpture park.  If you live in Grenada for any amount of time you'll hear about it & it was super intriguing to me.
Well... I won't say I was disappointed, but I won't say I was super impressed either.

It is very eerie to see "bodies" under the ocean.  and that is what a lot of it looked like.
and it was in deep water, which made my toes wiggle a little bit extra.
and some of the statues had fallen over and were quite corroded.
and it was tough to get to.

Lee and I are cheap. ch.ea.p.
We were not about to pay a boat to take us out to see it when it is "walkable"
We drove up on the other side of St. George's until you see a big sign for the sculpture park and parked at the beach and then began the hike to the bay on the left side of this beach.

If it wasn't for the sea urchins, I'd totally recommend it.  It wouldn't have been difficult except for the fear of falling and smashing your face against 100 sea urchin spikes.
But we made it.  (I did cut my hand up on one trying to get out of the water though...)

Other than the sculptures it was also pretty great snorkeling.  We saw tons of colorful fish, a barracuda (and  I was TERRIFIED) and other sea life.

If you're up for an adventure try it out!  I highly recommend wearing shoes.
or pay $60US for a boat to take you there. ridiculous.








AND. my underwater camera broke. again. boo.

update update

Lee and I have been doing so much fun stuff I haven't been able to keep this blog updated!!

I don't have pictures but we went to the most amazing place called Flamingo Bay.  It is located at Happy Hill, just about 15minutes past St. Georges & it has the BEST snorkeling!!
Thank you Kensi for the tip!! It was awesome! 
Unfortunately that was the day my underwater camera decided not to work.  but I can tell you that it was beautiful.
Huge sea fans, tons of colorful tropical fish, squids, so much life.
And the best part is when you swim out kinda far there is this huge drop off and a rock wall with stuff growing all over it.
Afterwards Lee and Stan decided to go find the underwater sculpture park which is located a bay (or 2) over, while Natasha and I hung out on the beach... they came back completely worn out and having only seen 1 sculpture, so we're planning a trip back soon!



We've also had a few more sunset swims, beach walks, and long days relaxing at home watching movies.
It's been an incredible summer so far.

I finally got Lee up to La Sagesse last week too!  It is SO beautiful there!


Now I can move onto our mini-vacation to Carriacou and the Tobago Cays!! It was INCREDIBLE!
