I had a chance to explore the island, interact with the people and experience some of the many activities that Grenada has to offer.<\/p>\n<h3>Politics<\/h3>\n<p>My visit coincided with the height of election activities. I experienced the calm passion of the people as they debated politics on the beach and provided their opinions with humor on the radio.<\/p>\n<h3>Cricket<\/h3>\n<p>My visit also coincided with a West Indies v Australia cricket match. I ran into a group of Trinidadians on the beach discussing the lost cricket match and drinking Johnny Walker Black to drown their sorrows.<\/p>\n<p>This was their first time in Grenada and they commented on how impressed they were with the island. The people are friendly, the island is clean and pristine, the <a href=\"https:\/\/grenada-beaches.com\/favorite-grenada-beaches.html\">Grenada beaches<\/a> are beautiful.<\/p>\n<h3>Island Tour<\/h3>\n<p>I took a bus <a href=\"https:\/\/grenada-beaches.com\/tours-in-grenada.html\">tour around the island<\/a> and visited the <a href=\"https:\/\/grenada-beaches.com\/annadale-waterfalls.html\">waterfalls<\/a>, the Grenada Cocoa Factory and <a href=\"https:\/\/grenada-beaches.com\/grand-etang-lake.html\">Grand Etang Lake<\/a>. It took me back to my childhood as I watched kids diving and playing is a river next to the cocoa factory.<\/p>\n<p class=\"center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/grenada-beaches.com\/images\/michelle-grenada-cocoa-1.jpg\" alt=\"rhum runner grenada\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" \/><br \/>\nCccoa Tree<\/p>\n<p>I re-learned how cocoa is processed &#8230; not much has changed in 30 years. I learned that Grenada now produces one of the best organic chocolate bars in the world.<\/p>\n<p class=\"center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/grenada-beaches.com\/images\/michelle-grenada-rhum-runer-2.jpg\" alt=\"rhum runner grenada\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I also toured the island by water on the Rhum Runner boat. They served the best rum punch and BBQ chicken.<\/p>\n<p class=\"center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/grenada-beaches.com\/images\/michelle-grenada-morne-rouge.jpg\" alt=\"rhum runner grenada\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" \/><\/p>\n<p>We stopped at a secluded beach and took a swim. I learned that there are no private beaches in Grenada. Although there are many hotels and residences along the shores, all beaches must remain accessible to the public.<\/p>\n<h3>Night Club<\/h3>\n<p>One night, I visited Club Karma. Wow, I was truly impressed. It reminded me of a South Beach Miami club.<\/p>\n<h3>Plums &amp; Mangoes<\/h3>\n<p>One more thing I must mention. My visit coincided with mango and plum season. It was  about 20 years since I had a plum, so I went giddy. I had plums for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I also had my fair share of mangoes and returned to the US with a few stews.<\/p>\n<h3>Oh Why?
