Grenada
An island nation in the eastern Caribbean, known as the "Spice Isle" and famous for nutmeg, white-sand beaches and diving.
Grenada lies at the southern end of the Windward Islands in the southeastern Caribbean. It consists of the main island of Grenada, Carriacou, Petite Martinique and several smaller islands, with St George's as its capital. It is called the "Spice Isle" for its abundant production of spices such as nutmeg. Main highlights include Grand Anse Beach, the colourful harbour and old forts of St George's, the rainforest and waterfalls of Grand Etang National Park, and the underwater sculpture park in Moliniere Bay. The dry season from December to May is the best time to travel, and June to November is hurricane season. Maurice Bishop International Airport is the main gateway.
