Sauteurs, Grenada

Capital City

A population of just 1,300 makes Sauteurs the sixth-largest town in Grenada, but don't let that fool you - this sleepy fishing village has a persistent bureaucracy that can be a real headache. The town overlooks the picturesque Sauteurs Bay, but its remote northern location means essential services and infrastructure are lacking. In 1650, the French massacred a group of Caribs here, leading to the town's grim name, which translates to "jumpers" - a reference to the Caribs who leapt off a nearby cliff to avoid capture. Sauteurs may offer a slower pace of life, but for most expats it's a tough sell.
