Just as you leave the ship there's a terminal mall with a store called something like The Spice Shop or Island Spices ??? with a wide variety of spices.

You may be looking for more than this but that's where we bought ours .... Quick and Easy when you're returning from an excursion.

Hi LuLu thanks for this. will look for it when there in May, have read in all tour books that must bring home some of the spices from there and I love nutmeg !! like to bring home authentic crafts/souvenirs from places, not the klitchy touristy things.

My Signature no cruises but a land vac. in STJ USVI.

You're so nice! Thanks for asking. Yes, I'll have a report on what we did there ... hopefully, by sometimes next week.

Our favorite gifts to take home from Grenada are those "spice baskets" with a variety of spices ... prices begin at about $3. Especially, like the ones that also include some whole spices with a mini-spice grater. So easy and light weight to carry home ... and they always make our luggage smell good.

We have been in Granada a few times, did the tour once, visited Grand Anse Beach. Nice beach. Taxi boat is right by the pier. When you arrive at beach, you have to get out of the boat in knee-deep water.
Buy spices already in jars. (Bring bubble wrap) The spice necklaces don't really smell much (I have a few in my kitchen). Adorable children sell them, so I couldn't resist!

Don't buy the chocolate balls (for hot chocolate). Unless I did something wrong, they were AWFUL.

Has anyone been to any of the other beaches?

Thanks for the warning on the chocolate balls. I have some from there but haven't used them.... .... and, now, don't think I will!

On our party boat the beach stop was Morne Rough Beach which we thought was very nice. A bit more info on Morne Rough is included in our "Party Cruise & Beach -- Report" posted here. (scroll)

Lulu, if you do try to use the hot chocolate balls, please let me know how it turns out. Maybe I didn't know how to use it!!!
