Family Packing

As a rule, plan minimal amounts of light clothing; however, for health reasons, children should always wear shoes or sandals when outdoors.

For those traveling to Grenada, be sure to bring plenty of diapers. Although Pampers are available, they are expensive. Parents are encouraged to use cloth diapers.

Sports and Recreational Items

• Camera, underwater camera and film - For those new to Grenada, film is available on the island, though it may be less expensive if you bring film from home. Be sure to bring extra batteries for your camera as they may not be available on the Island.

• Games, hobbies, playing cards, and handiwork

• Tennis racket, softball, glove, football, Frisbee, volleyball, basketball, etc. If you have children, bring equipment for them as smaller sizes may not be conveniently available.

• Athletic shoes, cleats, etc. (Rollerblades are definitely not recommended. Bikes can also be dangerous on narrow, uneven roads.)

• Snorkeling or diving equipment (or rent them at the local hotels)
