About Grenada
Known as the Spice Isle, Grenada is home to several fragrant nutmeg plantations. Georgian-style architecture, colorful houses, and the impressive Fort George pepper the capital city of St. George.
As if the natural wonders of the island weren’t enough cause for celebration, the islands also enjoy a festive “Spicemas” in August and sailing regattas and festivals throughout the year, attracting an international crowd of sailors, onlookers, and their first mates.
