Morne Jaloux

Morne Jaloux is a hillside community in St George parish, Grenada, situated above the coast road between St George's and Grand Anse. The name suggests "Jealous Hill" in French Creole, though the origin is uncertain. The area is residential with elevated positions offering views over the Caribbean coast. Morne Jaloux is a quiet local community with no significant tourist infrastructure, though its convenient location between the capital and the beach strip makes it a practical base for self-catering visitors.

The terrain is steep, typical of Grenada's volcanic landscape, with houses built on the hillsides connected by narrow lanes. Tropical fruit trees and gardens are abundant.
