About Grenada
Located in the southeastern Caribbean just north of Trinidad and Venezuela, the tri-island state of Grenada is made up of three islands: Grenada, and twenty miles to the North, Carriacou, and Petite Martinique. Grenada is the largest of the three, occupying 120 square miles. Its volcanic origin has produced a topography of great beauty and environmental variety, ranging from mountainous rainforest to dry lowlands and coastal mangroves. Springs, streams and waterfalls abound, and crater lakes mirror the sky. The sea coasts are indented with an equal variety of bays and beaches, some with black volcanic sand, some white, and some black and tan.
The numerous natural harbours make these islands a welcoming stopover for a variety of vessels. Grenada is also known as the Isle of Spice. There are more spices here per square mile than any other place on the planet! Cloves, cinnamon, ginger, turmeric, cocoa, nutmeg and mace grow in abundance. Nutmeg is the country’s biggest export; Grenada produces one third of the world’s supply.
If you are looking for a tropical paradise with lush green vegetation, panoramic views, beaches, waterfalls, opportunities for whale watching, sailing, diving, scuba and other water sports, Grenada offers it all.
Our History
The tranquility and beauty of Grenada belie a history fraught with upheavals which began with its volcanic eruption from the sea thousands of years ago. Its first known inhabitants were Arawak Indians, who canoed from the nearby South American continent all the way up the Caribbean island chain. They were followed by another, fiercer group, the Caribs, who supplanted them.
In 1498 the island of Grenada was spotted and named Concepcion by Christopher Columbus. No doubt the then-resident Carib Indians and their predecessors had their own name for this mountainous green island, but they have all perished...
Our Culture
The Grenadian culture is a mixure of African, East Indian, French and British practises. Theses influences has impacted in Grenada's forklore, diallect, music and general way of Life.
