travelers know Grenada as a colorful, robust travel destination that's
wonderfully rough around the edges. Dubbed the "Spice Island" because of
its impressive production of nutmeg, mace, cinnamon, ginger and cloves,
it has a rugged mountainous interior of rainforests and waterfalls and
an indented coastline with protected bays and beaches. The capital, St.
George's - has one of the prettiest harbor settings in the Caribbean. Its
landlocked inner harbor is actually the deep crater of a long-dead volcano |
| The waters of Grenada have
extensive reefs, with good coral, tropical fish, turtles and other marine
life. Dives come in a variety of flavors, including shallow reefs, walls,
shipwrecks and drifts. The best sites are Bose Reef, Dragon Bay and Grand
Mal. |

Tropical rainforests and
the stunning beauty of dormant volcanoes make this a fascinating and diverse
landscape with some of the finest beaches in the world. In St. George’s
is the Carenage, a picturesque inner harbour with 18th century warehouses
and restaurants. Travelling north from the capital towards Spice Country,
visitors pass through some of the prettiest fishing villages on the island.
Levera Bay and Grand Anse are two of the best beaches. |
|
The highest waterfall is Mount
Carmel with two falls that cascade from 70 feet over rocks to clear pools
below.
 |
| Tourist infrastructure is
still generally small-scale and locally owned, offering a good balance
between comfort and price - making Grenada a great getaway for those who
want to avoid the Caribbean resort experience. The secret to a successful
visit to Grenada is to mix up the beach activity with getting out to the
island's interior. |
