Grenada -The Isle of Spice- is the largest of three
islands, Grenada, Carriacou and Petit Martinique, which comprise the
Independent State of Grenada. From the world-famous Grand Anse and other
Carib-washed beaches up to the 2,756 foot high Mt. St. Catherine Peak, view a
varying topography of mountains, valleys and streams gloriously arranged to
present some of the most picturesque scenery in the world. All the islands are
noted for their rich Amerindian remains and Colonial artifacts. Both the St.
George's - Grenada - and Carriacou Museums emphisize this idea.
Grenada covers 133 square miles, including Carriacou and Petit Martinique. It
has a population of approximately 96,000.
