Grenada’s Sculpture Park Entry Fee Rises to US$7—but the Payment Portal Still Shows the Old Amount

Grenada’s phased marine-protected-area fee schedule calls for the entry charge at Molinere/Beauséjour Marine Protected Area to increase from US$3.50 to US$7 per person per visit on October 1, 2026. The protected area includes the Molinere Underwater Sculpture Park, one of the island’s best-known scuba and snorkeling attractions.

The Grenada Tourism Authority says the entry user fee applies to all visitors, including divers, snorkelers and other recreational users. Travelers should ask their dive operator whether the charge is included in a package price or collected separately, and operators should make the fee clear before customers arrive.

There is a practical verification issue. Although the published schedule says US$7 from October 1, the official payment portal currently states that its products are priced in Eastern Caribbean dollars and continues to list the Marine Protected Park Fee at XCD10. That amount corresponds to the earlier US$3.50 stage, not the new scheduled rate. Until the portal is updated or the authority issues clarification, divers should confirm the amount and payment method with their operator or the Grenada Tourism Authority before paying.

The same Tourism Authority announcement discusses a separate US$10 daily scuba-diving fee and new yacht-mooring charges as measures that amendments to the Fisheries Act “will introduce.” It does not provide an effective date for those additional charges. They should not be reported as currently in force without a current implementing notice or legal text.
