The southernmost of the Windward Islands,
Grenada
is known as "The Isle of Spice", producing one third of the world's supply of
nutmeg
along with quantities of cinnamon, cloves, ginger, turmeric and mace. While largely dependent on agriculture, the tiny nation of Grenada - which includes neighbouring
Carriacou
and
Petite Martinique
as well as other smaller Grenadine islands - is steadily earning a reputation as a holiday destination, but it remains relatively unspoiled compared to other more popular Caribbean islands.
All three of the main islands offer excellent
watersports
opportunities, while Grenada in particular has its share of stunning black- and white-sand beaches, ranging from the resort-lined
Grand Anse Beach
on the southwest tip to the ruggedly spectacular
Bathway Beach
in the northeast. But what makes Grenada truly spectacular is the dense tropical
rainforest
of its mountainous interior, rich in birdlife and laced with a network of hiking trails that provide magnificent views of the surrounding peaks.
Ringing the island are a variety of communities, chief among them the elegant capital of
St George's
, as well as the charming fishing village of
Goyave
on the west coast and, on the east coast,
Grenville
, the country's agricultural heart. The country's inhabitants, 90 percent of whom live on the island of Grenada, are descended from British, French, African and West Indians settlers, and their inviting and friendly nature belies the country's turbulent history.
Much smaller and far less visited are the islands of
Carriacou
and
Petite Martinique
, appealing for their slow pace and a welcome respite from the tourist crowds on Grenada.
