Awaiting Your Return From Shore |

Often called the ‘Spice Island,’ Grenada has
the prettiest harbor in the Caraibes. St. George’s, the picturesque, small
capital with typical 18th century French provincial houses and fine examples
of English Georgian architecture, is backed by a mountainous interior that
rises from a generally rugged coast that is blessed with some dazzling white
beaches.
Pier Information. The ship Mai be docked or anchored. The town
is only 5-10 minutes on foot. Taxis are generally unmetered, so agree on
the fare first. |
|
Shopping. There are many luxury imports on Grenada. Prices are
good for British china and crystal. |
|
Cuisine. Local dishes include Callaloo, made with crabs
and vegetables, turtle steak, and saltpork, made with coconut milk.
For the best West Indian cuisine try Nutmeg or Rudolf’s, overlooking the
harbor, or for elegant French dining, make reservations at Coconuts. For
open air dining at the beach, eat at the Spice Island Inn. |
