We have passed the Moliniere-Beausejour Marine protected area on the leeward side of Grenada, just north of St. Georges, countless times and today we decided to explore the area. The dual attraction of the site is the protected marine area and the underwater sculptures by Jason de Caires Taylor. There are 65 sculptures and some tell bits of history of Grenada others are just art. The sculptures are made of rebar and concrete, which does not last all that well underwater but have provided substrate for corals and sponges. The water is warm and clear and small fish are abundant. The signature sculpture is called "Vicissitudes" which is a circle of 26 life-size children of diverse ethnic background, all holding hands and facing outwards.
