Discover Grenada’s Underwater Sculpture Park – A Must-See Adventure Near Mt. Parnassus Inn
If you’re planning a trip to Grenada and staying with us at Mt. Parnassus Inn, one of the most unforgettable experiences you can enjoy is exploring the Underwater Sculpture Park—a truly one-of-a-kind attraction that has put Grenada on the world map for eco-art and marine conservation.
A World-Famous Underwater Wonder
Located in the Molinière Beauséjour Marine Protected Area, just a short drive from St. George’s, the Underwater Sculpture Park was created by British sculptor Jason deCaires Taylor in 2006. It is recognized as the world’s first underwater sculpture park, blending art, culture, and environmental awareness beneath the Caribbean Sea.
This underwater gallery features over 80 life-size sculptures, each telling a story of Grenadian life, history, and community. Among the most famous pieces are “Vicissitudes,” a circle of children holding hands, and “The Lost Correspondent,” a man working at a desk covered in coral and sea life. Over time, the sculptures have become living reefs, providing homes for colorful tropical fish and corals.
A Fusion of Art and Nature
What makes this experience truly magical is the way art and nature coexist. The sculptures serve a dual purpose: they’re visually stunning and environmentally beneficial. Over the years, marine life has transformed these artworks into vibrant ecosystems, helping to regenerate coral growth and promote reef health.
Visitors can explore the park by snorkeling, scuba diving, or glass-bottom boat tours, making it accessible to everyone—whether you’re an experienced diver or simply want to marvel from above the surface.
