Grenada
There are six parishes on the island, each with its own fascinating charm, special traditions and festivals:
St. George is the capital city of Grenada. There are magnificent beaches and perfect weather through the year.
St. David has a coastline sprinkled with small bays and inlets, many with pocket-size sandy beaches, just perfect for a quiet picnic and a swim. This is agricultural parish growing traditional crops of cocoa, nutmeg, bananas and spices as well as the sugar cane which is used in the manufacture of our island rums.
St. Andrew is the parish with the longest coastline and is also the largest producer of Grenada’s main agricultural exports.
St. Patrick is the most northerly parish. The town got its name from an historical event in the mid-seventeenth century when the native inhabitants leapt to their death instead of surrendering to the French Conquerors.
St. Mark is the smallest parish. His habitants mostly do the fishing and working the surrounding estates.
St. John is the town that never sleep. The highlight of the year for this parish is the Fisherman’s Birthday Celebrations.
Carriacou is the most populated island in the Grenadines. It has superb beaches, quaint rum shops, excellent diving and extraordinary scenery. Believed to have gotten its name from the Carib word for “land of reefs“, Carriacou’s coral origins are best represented by the six mile barrier reef on the eastern side of the island, while Kick ‘Em Jenny, the active underwater volcano, is evidence of Carriacou’s volcanic past.
Petite Martinique is small volcanic cone of about 486 acres. It has excellent beaches on the leeward side of the island. Decades ago smuggling developed as a way of life, with fishermen selling their catch to neighbouring St. Marteen and purchasing any items required.
