St. George's Carenage
The Carenage
A horseshoe-shaped harbor inside a volcanic crater, where colorful warehouses and red-roofed houses climb the hillside. It is St. George’s most classic postcard view.
The Carenage is the inner harbor enclosed by the old town of St. George’s. It got its name because sailing ships were once tipped on their sides here for repairs. Strolling along the waterfront, you will see brick-and-stone warehouses from the Georgian era, fishing boats and yachts. By the water are restaurants, rum bars and a water taxi dock that runs to Grand Anse. On the hilltop north of the harbor stands Fort George. The Sendall Tunnel leads from here to the cruise terminal and the market square on the other side. The slopes are steep and midday heat is intense, so it is best to explore early in the morning or in the evening.
