St George's

This is the capital of Grenada, and it is here that you will find some of the island's best offerings for tourism and entertainment. The St George Market is the commerce center for the island. Its buildings, adorned with pink fish scale tiles, nestle into the hillside. Down below, boats of every size and description float in the beautiful Carenage harbor.

St Patrick's

This is the most historic and picturesque of the parishes. Many of St Patrick's residents are dependent upon its agriculture, and many of the spices that support the island's economy are grown here, and this coast is a popular fishing area. There are mountains, valleys and lakes to explore, as well as a spectacular view of the Grenadine Islands. The River Antoine Rum Distillery is located here, as is the oldest operating water mill in the Caribbean, which still uses the same method for producing rum as the original proprietors did back in 1785.

St David's

This area is the largest producer of sugar cane on the island, although many other crops are found here as well. This area also hosts a nature preserve, one of the few known to still be a habitat for the endangered Grenada dove.

St Andrew's

This is the island's largest parish and the biggest center of agriculture. Greenville is the capital and is host to a thriving vegetable market. Fresh produce from local farms is delivered each morning for the throng of residents and tourists descend that upon the market daily. Here are also the Mt Camel Waterfalls.
