Hi Tricia,
Glad you enjoy Grenada! I was last there in 2013, and I must admit, I often fondly reminisce and consider returning. It’s a beautiful island, with many beautiful people.

And you’re so right about the food; some of the most delicious meals come from some pretty unlikely places. I befriended a rum shop owner; a shack at the side of the road in a rural area that I’d never have thought of stopping at; she made some of the best food! And cheap too. Yum!

I have visited Grenada many times and always enjoy it. Oil Down is great but so is the rice, blackeye peas and chicken, salt fish etc… Grenada has wonderful foods. I even found a gas station that sells meals that are out of this world.
The little island of Grenada has great places to enjoy great music, food, beaches, boat activities, restaurants, clubs and people.

Hi Stacey – How is this not a cultural phenomenon? I agree with your point; white women are easy targets for a variety of understandable reasons….but the very fact that this happens all the time makes it very much a part of the culture – like it or not.

I think you will find it is NOT a culteral phenomenon in our country. Grenadian men see white women as easy targets and an opportunity for a passport or as a way out of grenada to reach the uk,canada or america. So lets just make the facts quite clear!

@Neill – Thanks so much for stopping by! I’m glad you appreciated my introduction to Grenada. I do love this country – (especially now that I’ve been around a few Caribbean islands and have a frame of reference) – it’s a special place.

Hey there – I am from Grenada and I just read your post. Great read! And you are definitely someone who travels with an open mind (something I find a lot of self-professed travelers don’t do). I appreciated the piece. Just wanted to add that you CAN find Oil-down vegetarian style. But you will have to have a Rastafarian cook it for you. It’s amazing. There are many more white sand beaches tucked away in local places you wouldn’t hope to find in a tourist map. About the sex tourism topic… it’s definitely there but we are a very traditional somewhat conservative culture. It’s unspoken. I can’t wait to read the rest of your blog. Enjoy!

@Mike – I hadn’t heard much about Grenada prior to my own arrival! It’s like the Caribbean’s little secret paradise!

Only 3 photos in this article have had any editing done; and I’ve used some (free) HDR software to combines shots with different exposures to give more colour and detail. Hope you like them!
