First and foremost, beach gear is essential for any trip to Grenada. Swimwear, towels, goggles, sandals, snorkels and the obligatory beach ball should all be placed in your luggage.
Remember the Caribbean sun is powerful so you will need to think about bringing plenty of high factor sun cream alongside lightweight clothing. Cotton or linen is best for keeping you cool at the warmest parts of the day and hats and collared shirts should be used to protect the face and neck if you to decide to explore any further than your sunshade.
In the evening and night the temperatures will cool off. So it is best to take something a little bit longer and thicker to keep your limbs nicely warmed after sunset. Some sturdy shoes should be taken so that you can explore the hilly interior of these amazing islands in comfort.
At any time of the year, but especially during the rainy season which runs from July to December, it would be a good idea to invest in some lightweight waterproofs so you can fend off the sudden bursts of potential downpours which occasionally affect the region. Powerful insect repellent is a necessary investment as mosquitoes can be a problem on the islands.
- Capital: St George which was founded by the French in 1650 and has a current population of around 34,000.
- Currency: The East Caribbean Dollar (XCD) which has the image of Queen Elizabeth II on its banknotes and is also used by 7 other countries within the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States.
- Language: English
- Time Zone: GMT–4
The island of Grenada lies 160 kilometres north of Venezuela at the southeast edge of the Caribbean Sea. The climate it experiences is split into two seasons: the rainy season and the dry season.
The rainy season runs from July to December and, as you might expect, it gets hit with the most rain. Hurricane season in the Caribbean also takes place at this time and, while really powerful tropical storms only hit Grenada itself every few years, this creates a lot of rainfall in the region. Around 250mm of rain falls every month in this hot and humid season.
The dry season has considerably less rain with an average rainfall varying from 95mm to as high as 160mm. The average temperature barely varies between the seasons, always staying in the high 20s°C. The mountainous interior of the island receives substantially more rainfall while the climate of the coastline is tempered by north-easterly trade winds.
