WHY GRENADA

Taste the Spice Island

Grenada is known as the Spice Island, producing about a third of the world’s nutmeg - its “black gold” - along with cloves, mace, and ginger. The island’s volcanic soil also supports some of the Caribbean’s finest organic chocolate, creating a distinct identity shaped by flavor, tradition, and local craft.

Discover Scenic St. George’s

St. George’s, the capital of Grenada, is often described as one of the most picturesque cities in the Caribbean. Colorful hillside homes surround the horseshoe-shaped Carenage harbor, where historic red-brick buildings line the waterfront alongside fishing boats and local ferries.

Relax on Diverse Beaches

Grand Anse Beach is one of Grenada’s best-known beaches, a long stretch of white sand and calm turquoise water lined with restaurants, resorts, and shaded areas beneath sea grape trees. Beyond it, Grenada offers 45 white sand beaches and 9 black sand beaches along its coastline.

The World's First Underwater Sculpture Park

Grenada is home to a unique attraction: the Molinere Underwater Sculpture Park, the world’s first of its kind. Created by Jason deCaires Taylor in 2006, life-size sculptures, including the “Vicissitudes” ring of children, rest on the ocean floor just 16 feet below the surface.
