Day 027: St. George’s, Grenada — Spice Island Where Nutmeg Is Money & Coco Found Chocolate

Spice Island Where Nutmeg Is Money & Coco Found Chocolate

Grenada is one of those Caribbean destinations that feels different the moment you arrive.

Coco stepped off with the purple backpack, gold sunglasses, a handful of nutmeg, and somehow also found chocolate, turquoise water, spice stalls, hilltop forts, and one of the world’s most famous underwater sculpture parks.

This is the island where spice culture, chocolate making, beach days, and local food all come together in one trip.

Why Grenada

Grenada is often called the Spice Island, and this package leans all the way into that identity.

You’ve got Grand Anse Beach for the classic Caribbean look, but the destination goes further than that. It adds spice markets, nutmeg piles, cinnamon bundles, chocolate production, historic forts, local food, crater-lake scenery, and underwater art.

That combination makes Grenada feel more layered than a simple beach getaway.
