Grenada

Local festivals, fairs, and markets remain a vital part of life on Grenada. Its centuries-old spice plantations and rum distilleries still use traditional methods, emphasizing quality rather than quantity. The spices that come from this island range from coca to nutmeg to cinnamon. Even with the tourists visiting the island, its easy rhythms and the friendly openness of its residents create an atmosphere that is perfect for a Caribbean getaway.

Many visitors come and enjoy the various beaches on the island. About 45 beaches paint Grenada with beauty which makes it one of its most striking features. All beaches on the island are officially public property, which means that the public has access to experience the splendor of the golden sand and sparkling water. An extensive range of water sports is available in Grenada, including parasailing, diving, and cruising. Most resorts offer the full array of beach water sports, and a number of companies specialize in charters and rentals. Whether a novice or a long-time diver, Grenada offers a number of excellent snorkeling and dive locations that everyone can enjoy. The west coast of the island is practically one long offshore reef. Here you can dive above the 600-foot wreck of the Bianca, a cruise liner that went down in 1961. After a day of participating in all the daily activities Grenada has to offer, the idea of going home to a beach front villa will top off the experience for a perfect Caribbean vacation.
