Grenada’s neighborhoods vary from quiet fishing villages to busier market towns, and that mix affects how people live and travel around the island. Understanding which places feel safest helps residents and visitors make better choices about where to stay, dine, and explore.
There are 6 Safest Cities in Grenada, ranging from Gouyave to Victoria; for each city the list shows Country,Location,Safety rating (1-10) so you can compare protective measures and local trends at a glance — you’ll find below.
How were the safety ratings calculated?
The ratings combine available local crime reports, traveler feedback, and observable safety factors like police presence, street lighting, and community programs; think of them as a snapshot to guide planning, not a substitute for current local advice.
Should visitors change their plans based on these ratings?
Use the ratings to prioritize neighborhoods, but follow common-sense precautions—avoid poorly lit areas at night, secure valuables, and check recent local updates—since safety can vary with time and circumstances.
