Grenada is a rolling, mountainous island, covered with fragrant spice trees and rare tropical flowers. Bordered by stunning beaches and dotted with picturesque towns, this verdant island has long been a major source of nutmeg, cloves, ginger, cinnamon and cocoa. In the interior of this volcanic island are cascading rivers and waterfalls, lush rainforests, and a stunningly beautiful mountain lake. The island's capital, St George, is widely held to be one of the loveliest cities in the Caribbean, with its horseshoe-shaped harbour surrounded by pastel-coloured dockside warehouses, traditional shops and homes. The island is ringed with miles of beautiful beaches, ranging from sugar-fine white sand to volcanic black sand. Grande Anse beach, a smooth expanse stretching for two miles around the curve of a gentle bay, is world famous, as is the scuba diving on easily accessible and pristine coral reefs just offshore |
