A visit to Grenada caters to all of the senses. The sweet scents
of nutmeg, cinnamon, ginger, and vanilla perfume he air of the Grenadines, the
islands that mae up the nation state of Grenada. The nine black-sand and 45 white-sand
beaches feel warm underfoot en rout to the cool, crystal clear sea. Colorful fish
dart among the underwater coral reefs. The chirping of tropical birds fills the
rain forest, and the lilting sounds of steel bands spill out into the city streets.
You can choose from different vacation experiences on the three main islands -
Grenada, Carriacou, and Petite Martinique - which lie at the southernmost regions
of the Windward Islands, off the coast of Venezuela.
The island of Grenada, with
its picturesque capital, St. George's, has long attracted the most attention from
vacationers. But its unspoiled sister island, Carriacou, has a slower pace and
deserted sugar-white beaches. The island's many places to dive and snorkel have
earned Carriacou the nickname "the Land of Many Reefs". At scenic Anse La Roche
beach, the clear waters reveal colorful coral reefs and outstanding volcanic formations.
Water sports are some of Grenada's biggest attractions. Snorkellers and scuba
divers can choose from a variety of rich sites, including those offshore from
the many smaller islands. The Bianca C is the Caribbean's largest underwater wreck.
Sport fishing is another draw; vacationers may return at the end of the day with
a blue marlin, sailfish or yellowfin tuna.
Grenada appeals to families and couples with varying budgets. No matter which
island you choose to visit, you can fins a range of accommodations from private
villas and small, Spanish-style cottages to townhouses and full-service hotels
with spas.
