Live Your Best Lives
Grenada is located at the southernmost tip of the Windward Islands in the eastern Caribbean Sea. It is now a member of the Commonwealth. On December 5, 2017, the European Union announced that Grenada was included in the tax haven blacklist.
The island is rich in plant resources. Vegetation covers a vast area, almost covering the entire island, and is mainly composed of natural tropical trees and shrubs, with large areas of rainforest in the mountainous areas.
Agriculture and tourism are the foundation of the economy. Nutmeg, a major agricultural product, accounts for approximately one-third of the world's total production, ranking second only to Indonesia. The Underwater Sculpture Museum, a combination of diving and art viewing, is well worth a visit.
Grenada has a tropical marine climate with an average annual temperature of 26°C. Hurricanes are likely to hit starting in June every year, especially from July to September. Hurricanes are particularly frequent and severe, so it is best to avoid traveling at this time.
Datang Lake
Big Tang Lake, one of the world's most spectacular submarine volcanic lakes, is located in St. Andrew Parish. While not as deep as other lakes, Big Tang Lake rises 500 meters above sea level, making it one of the deepest lakes formed within the crater of an inselberg volcano. Big Tang Lake is a popular tourist destination in Grenada, primarily due to its stunning scenery and location in St. Andrew Parish, one of the most popular parishes in Grenada.
Melancholy Rouge Beach
Also known as BBC Beach, it's located in northern Grenada near the capital, St. George's. Considered by many to be Grenada's finest beach, Rouge Melancholy boasts pristine white sand, turquoise waters, and a refreshingly natural environment. It's a favorite beach for Grenadians on vacation and a favorite destination for many returning tourists.
Changshan Plantation
The plantation is located in Sawtell, St. Patrick's District, in the northernmost part of Grenada and was founded in 1908. With views of the nearby towering mountains, the blue sea, and the beautiful countryside, the plantation is one of Grenada's most famous tourist attractions.
