Grenada Coast

Grenada’s coast surrounds a mountainous volcanic island at the southern end of the Lesser Antilles. Bays cut into the shore, and the smaller islands of the Grenadines extend northwards towards Saint Vincent. French settlers established themselves on Grenada in the seventeenth century after violent conflict with its Kalinago inhabitants. The island later passed to Britain, and its coastal settlements served an economy built around plantation crops and enslaved labour.
