About Grenada

Grenada smells different from other Caribbean islands — literally. The air carries nutmeg and cinnamon from the hillside spice plantations that earned it the nickname 'Spice Island.' Grand Anse Beach is a two-mile sweep of soft sand that regularly lands on best-beach lists but never feels overcrowded. The underwater sculpture park in Moliniere Bay is one of the most surreal snorkeling experiences anywhere — human figures colonized by coral, slowly becoming part of the reef. St. George's, the capital, is a proper Caribbean harbor town with colorful buildings cascading down hillsides to the waterfront. A plate of oil down, the national dish of breadfruit and salted meat simmered in coconut milk, will run you about $5 and change your understanding of comfort food.
