Rugged and sparse, St David bears the full brunt of the Atlantic Ocean, with a jagged and weathered coastline to show for it. The parish is also home to some of Grenada’s best arable land and is known as the ‘spice parish’. The gentle slopes and stretches of flat land are used for cultivating nutmeg, sugarcane, guava, mangoes and more.
