Grenada

Grenada, known as the ‘Spice Isle’ of the Caribbean, is a vibrant tropical paradise comprising three main islands: Grenada, Carriacou, and Petite Martinique. This stunning nation captivates visitors with its pristine beaches, lush rainforests, and rich cultural heritage that blends African, European, and Caribbean influences.

Grenada offers an authentic Caribbean experience that sets it apart from more commercialized destinations. The main island, shaped like a teardrop, spans approximately 344 square kilometers and features dramatic mountainous terrain dominated by Mount Saint Catherine. The landscape is characterized by pristine white-sand beaches, crystal-clear waters, and verdant rainforests. The island’s interior is marked by cascading waterfalls, crater lakes, and spice plantations that produce nutmeg, cinnamon, and cloves, earning its reputation as the ‘Spice Isle.’ The capital, St. George’s, is widely considered one of the most picturesque ports in the Caribbean, with its horseshoe-shaped harbor surrounded by pastel-colored colonial buildings and red-tiled roofs cascading down the hillsides. The nation’s smaller islands, Carriacou and Petite Martinique, offer a more laid-back atmosphere and are renowned for their marine life, traditional boat building, and authentic Caribbean culture. The country’s agricultural heritage, particularly in spice production, remains a significant part of its identity and economy. Grenada’s waters are home to vibrant coral reefs, including the world’s first Underwater Sculpture Park, making it a premier destination for diving and snorkeling.

Located in the southeastern Caribbean Sea, Grenada is the southernmost of the Windward Islands, approximately 100 miles north of Venezuela. The nation consists of the main island of Grenada and smaller islands including Carriacou and Petite Martinique.
