Beaches of Grenada

There are 45 white sand beaches and 9 black sand beaches in Grenada. Amongst the most famous are Grand Anse and Morne Rouge Beach which are very close to each other.

Climate

The climate is tropical: hot and humid in the rainy season and cooled by the trade winds in the dry season. Grenada being on the southern edge of the hurricane belt has suffered only 3 hurricanes in 50 years.

Hurricanes

  • Hurricane Janet passed over Grenada on 23 September 1955 with winds of 115 mph, causing severe damage.
  • Hurricane Ivan on September 7, 2004 causing severe damage and 39 deaths
  • Hurricane Emily on July 14, 2005 causing serious damge in Carriacou and in the north of Grenada which had been relatively lightly affected by hurricane Ivan.
Grenada has recovered with remarkable speed, due to her climate and the resilience of her people combined with much needed help from her neighbours, and financing from the world at large. By December 2005, 96% of all hotel rooms were to be open for business and to have been upgraded in facilities and strengthened to an improved building code. The agricultural industry and in particular the nutmeg industry suffered serious losses, but that event has begun changes in crop management and the nutmeg industry may be returning to its pre-Ivan position as a major supplier in the western world.

Spices

Grenada is sometimes called spice island. Cinnamon, cloves, ginger, mace, and especially nutmeg, providing 20% of the World's supply, are all important exports. There is a nutmeg on the nation's flag. The red lacy material is mace. It is found between the nutmeg fruit and the nut itself.

I'm at the moment working on a detailed satellite map of Grenada. It features many points of interest on grenada, so it takes a while to load.

Most pages of this wiki have a map of the location included, and these (Google) maps serve as a good starting point for new pages. If you have some patience , you can include you own maps too, it is really easy to do.

Important ! This WIKI was started as a one man, non commercial project by Paellaman. But my time is limited and the subject is very large. I don't have the knowledge neither to write about everything. That is why I would highly appreciate some of your time as well. Start adding content to this website and help informing others about carriacou, grenada, Petit Martinique and the Grenadines islands. Thank you.
