Attractions and Places to Visit Grenada - The Gentle Island GRENADA is somewhere special for a holiday. It is one of the most beautiful of all the Caribbean Islands, being lush and green even in the dry season. It has mountainous scenery - with two peaks around 3,000 ft., waterfalls, colourful tropical flowers, trees and shrubs. Grenada is known as the Spice Island and grows much of the world's nutmeg and other spices. Bananas, cocoa and coconuts also grow in abundance. It is a friendly Island with a charm and character of its own and is still untouched by the commercialism of many of the other Islands. The Capital, St. George's, is the quaintest, most picturesque and unspoilt in the whole of the West Indies, yet despite these qualities the hotels and other holiday accommodation are second to none. There are rum factories, sugar mills, cocoa and spice plantations together with waterfalls and scenic National Parks to visit in the daytime. Night life is catered for by several discos and the Hotels have evening entertainments in the form of steel bands and barbecues. Between the Islands of Grenada and St.Vincent, 68 miles away to the north, lie the fabled Grenadines (of Beque and Princess Margaret fame) - about 50 superb Islands giving some of the best sailing and cruising anywhere in the world. Grenada is the center for sailing throughout the Windward Islands and has three thriving Marinas where many visiting yachts can be seen; many having sailed over from Europe, down from the States or up from South Africa. Sport The silver beaches, reputed to be the best in the Caribbean, if not in the world, are palm fringed to shield you from the tropical sun, allowing you to simply laze and relax. For the more energetic, tennis and golf are both available or you can sail, scuba dive, or water ski. Maps, Weather Grenada is 12 miles x 20 miles - approximately the same size as the Isle of Wight off the south coast of England, and it is the southern most of all the Caribbean islands, being situated at 12 N and therefore well within the tropics. Due to the NE trade winds the air temperature usually remains between 70 F and 90 F all the year round. Air conditioning or blankets are not required - truly a marvelous climate. The air temperature rarely drops below 70F or goes above 90F. The Winter Season is from mid-December to mid-April. Rates for hotels, villas, apartments and car hire are naturally higher during this period but by visiting Grenada outside of these months it is possible to take advantage of lower rates.
