Grenada, known as the “Spice Island” of the Caribbean, offers visitors a mix of natural beauty and cultural heritage, with highlights like Grand Anse Beach, the historic forts in St. George’s, and the underwater sculpture park. The local currency is the Eastern Caribbean dollar (XCD), though U.S. dollars are widely accepted. Prices are generally moderate by Caribbean standards, though imported goods and resort areas can be costly. The weather is tropical year-round, with a wet season from June to November and a drier, more comfortable period from December to May.
Grenada’s transport infrastructure is basic but functional. Minibuses serve most areas and are the main form of public transport, though they don’t always follow fixed schedules and can be crowded. Taxis are available but relatively expensive, and car rentals are an option, though roads can be narrow, winding, and poorly lit at night. Driving is on the left. While the island is small, travel between towns can still be slow due to the hilly terrain and road conditions.
