Grenada Cricket World Cup 2007 Tourist Information

With a land mass of 344 square kilometres housing a population of just 100,000, Grenada is the second smallest independent nation in the Western Hemisphere. Grenada is the largest of the islands comprising Grenada and the Grenadines and is the southernmost of the Windward Islands. English is the official language and is spoken by almost everyone here.

The authorities in Grenada are keen to maintain it's unspoiled beauty. You will not see huge high rise hotels lining the beaches as on most Caribbean coastlines as they are forbidden here. Accommodation for the Cricket World Cup should still be plentiful however. Grenada provides many private villas, self catering apartments and smaller hotels for tourists.

Travelling to Grenada is an opportunity to explore an island that is as naturally diverse as it is stunningly beautiful. The beaches of Grenada with their white sand, swaying palm trees and coral reefs offer a wide range of diving and snorkelling activities while the inside of the volcanic island with it's rich soil boasts a rain forest that begs to be explored - preferably with an experienced guide! The capital of Grenada, St. John, has good shopping facilities and markets offering the wares of the 'Spice Island'. Grenada's most important spice, nutmeg, appears on the national flag.

Grenada is serviced by Point Salines International Airport located on the Island's south western tip. The Airport is handily placed for the capital St. Georges which is just 5-10 minutes away. Long haul direct flights to Grenada are possible but many large airlines choose to fly to Grenada via other Caribbean islands.
