Grenada is an island country in the Caribbean. Three key facts help place it: its capital is St. George’s, its listed language is English, and its currency is the Eastern Caribbean dollar.
01

An island in the Caribbean

Grenada is part of the Americas and the Caribbean subregion. The records consulted identify it as an island country and also distinguish a main island called Grenada. This is a useful geographic reference, though it does not by itself describe distances between places or how to plan journeys.

02

St. George’s, the capital

St. George’s is listed as both the country’s capital and a locality in Grenada. This helps distinguish the capital from the main island, but the information available does not provide details about neighbourhoods, attractions, transport or services. Check those practical details before planning a visit.
03

Language and currency for planning

English is listed as the country’s language. The currency is the Eastern Caribbean dollar, with the code XCD and the symbol $. The symbol alone does not identify the currency: when checking prices or preparing payments, confirm that amounts are in XCD and verify that the financial information is up to date.
04

What to check before you go

The available information is a starting point, not a complete travel plan. Check entry requirements, connections, local transport, accepted payment methods and any details that may change separately. There is not enough information here to recommend a particular season or route.
