The Spice Island — nutmeg groves, underwater sculptures, and the Caribbean's best fish fry.
Grenada earns its Spice Island nickname with nutmeg in the breeze and cocoa in the hills. Beyond the spice trade, you'll find the world's first underwater sculpture park, a crater lake ringed by mona monkeys, and a Friday night fish fry in Gouyave.
