Introducing Grenada Island
The island of Grenada is an almond-shaped, beach-rimmed gem of a place with 75 miles of coastline surrounding a lush interior, which is filled with tropical rainforest. Most of the tourist infrastructure is located on the southwest corner of the island, which – conveniently – is also where you’ll find the airport and some of the nicest beaches.
St George's
St George’s ticks all the boxes for a small island capital: overlooked by the requisite quota of handsome old buildings, the Carenage harbor is one of the prettiest in the Caribbean.
Sauteurs
On the northern tip of the island, the town of Sauteurs (whose French name translates as ‘Jumpers’) is best known for its grim history.
