Happy Hill

Happy Hill is a small residential community in St George parish, Grenada, situated on the hillside above the coast road between St George's and Grand Anse. The area is primarily residential with a mix of local homes and a few small guesthouses. Happy Hill offers views over the Caribbean Sea and is conveniently located between the capital and the tourist strip, though it has no significant tourist attractions of its own.

The community is built on the steep terrain typical of Grenada's volcanic landscape, with houses connected by narrow lanes and steps. The atmosphere is quiet and local, with tropical gardens and fruit trees throughout.

By Plane

Maurice Bishop International Airport (GND) is approximately 7 km southwest. The drive takes about 15 minutes. Taxis cost around EC$45-55 (US$17-20).

By Car / Road

Happy Hill is accessed from the main coast road between St George's and Grand Anse. Side roads lead uphill into the community. Minibuses serve the coast road below; from the bus stop, it's a steep walk up.

The community is walkable but steep — expect stairs and inclines. For trips to town or the beach, minibuses on the coast road are the main option.
