Woburn

Woburn is a small coastal village on the southwestern tip of St George parish in Grenada, situated on the peninsula near Maurice Bishop International Airport. The village faces the Caribbean Sea with views towards the southern Grenadines on clear days. Woburn is a quiet, primarily residential community with a handful of small guesthouses and restaurants catering to travellers seeking a base near the airport and away from the busier Grand Anse strip.

The area is characterised by low-rise buildings, tropical gardens, and a laid-back atmosphere. The coastline features a mix of rocky shore and small sandy coves. The nearby Point Salines peninsula, where the airport is located, extends south from the village.
