Grenada
Grenada, the 'Spice Isle' of the Caribbean, dazzles with volcanic beaches, nutmeg plantations, and a vibrant capital that costs a fraction of glitzier islands. Honest street food, free waterfalls, and uncrowded reefs make it one of the Eastern Caribbean's best bang-for-your-buck destinations.

Good to know in Grenada
- Transit: Shared minibuses (called 'buses') run fixed routes for EC$2-4 (~$0.75-$1.50 USD) and are the cheapest way to get around, wave them down on the roadside.
- Tipping: Not mandatory but 10% is appreciated at restaurants; large hotels may add a service charge automatically, so check your bill.
- Tap water: Tap water is generally safe in urban areas and most hotels, but bottled water (~$1) is widely available if you prefer peace of mind.
