Welcome to Grenada!
Known as "Spice Island," Grenada grows more spices such as nutmeg, cinnamon and
ginger per square mile than any other place in the world. The southernmost island of the
Windward Islands, it is located 90 miles north of Trinidad. Only 21 miles long and 12
miles wide at its widest point, this island is the home to much more than just spices.
Grenada has plenty to offer the vacationer - from its beautiful white sandy beaches to the
majestic beauty of its dead volcanic crater port, Carenage. Built by the French in 1732,
this capital city port's waterfront is lined with pink, ocher and brick-red commercial
buildings and warehouses. Another exciting activity is the glass-bottom boat tours of St.
George's Harbor. Here you can see with your own eyes the beauty of the ocean floor and all
its inhabitants.
Before your trip to Grenada, be sure and ask about the "People to People"
program offered by New Trends Tours (809/444-1236) where you will meet and spend time with
a native Grenadian who shares your same interests.
