Grenada is an island country located between the Caribbean Sea and Atlantic Ocean, north of Trinidad and Tobago.

[1] Grenada, known as the Spice Isle because of its production of nutmeg and mace, is the largest at 310 square kilometers, or about the size of the city of Detroit.

[1] St. George's, the capital and the nation's most important harbour, is favorably situated near a lagoon on the southwestern coast.

[1] Grenada is more rugged and densely foliated than its outlying possessions, but other geographical conditions are more similar.

[1] The swift upper reaches of rivers, which occasionally overflow and cause flooding and landslides, generally cut deeply into the conic slopes.

[1] Temperatures averaging 29 °C (84.2 °F) are constant throughout the year, however, with slightly higher readings in the lowlands.
