Docking

12deg 02.7'N, 61deg 44.8'W Grenadas' Blue Lagoon is still open for those who wish to anchor. The former "Blue Lagoon Marina" (GYS) is no more, but together with the surrounding hill on the entrance of the harbor, has become part of a major development plan which is said to start any time soon. St.George is now fairly safe and secure. A new cruise ship dock is being built right in town, next to the old market. The old harbor has seen tremendous restoration and is a most pleasant site to visit with internet cafes, restaurants, boutiques and souvenir shops.
