A Short History of Grenada — The Spice Island

Grenada sits in the southeastern Caribbean, part of the Windward Islands. Known as “The Spice Island of the West Indies,” it earned that name because of the abundance of:

  • Nutmeg
  • Cinnamon
  • Banana
  • Cocoa
  • Clove
  • Ginger
  • Mace

The island is home to a vibrant, resilient people shaped by African, Indigenous, European, and East Indian influences. Throughout colonization, revolution, and rebuilding, Grenadians held onto something powerful:

A joyful spirit and an unbreakable faith.

The culture is warm, soulful, and deeply rooted in music, family, storytelling, and community.

As the song goes:

🎶 “We are from Grenada if you please,
Spice Island of the West Indies…”
🎶

That lyric sums it all up — Grenadians take pride in where they come from, in their identity, and in the richness God placed in their land.

Grand Anse is more than a beach.
It’s a statement of God’s artistry.

With:

  • Calm turquoise water
  • Palm trees that sway like worship
  • Sunsets that feel like heaven brushing the earth

Grand Anse Beach sits on the southwestern coast and stretches about two miles. Growing up, this was the place where time slowed down. Families gathered, boats glided by, and the water stayed warm even into the evening.

For visitors, Grand Anse is:

Perfect for swimming
