The island is accessible from both North America other Caribbean Islands and Europe with 16 separate airlines serving Grenada’s Point Salines International Airport. November 2008 also saw the start of Miami’s daily direct route with American Airlines. And due to increased demand Air Jamaica has just increased is direct route to Grenada from JFK (NY) to 3 flights a week. Grenada’s coastline consists of a collection of bays and inlets where small fishing communities nestle alongside the visiting yachts, giving Grenada the reputation as one of the best sailing destinations in the Caribbean. And now with the newly opened Camper & Nicholson’s Marina* with berthing even for the super yachts Grenada is quickly becoming THE destination for the sailing & yachting fraternity. |
