Introduction to Gouyave, Grenada
Gouyave is the most famous fishing town in the Caribbean island of Grenada, located in the parish of St. John's on the west coast of the main island, about 7 kilometers from the capital city of St. George's. As the "fishing capital" of Grenada, it is known for its lively Friday night fish market, where fishermen auction off the day's catch of fresh tuna, snapper and lobster directly on the beach.
Geographic and Historical Background
Bordered by lush hills and facing the Caribbean Sea, Guelph was historically known for its French colonial cultivation of nutmeg and cocoa. The town's original name, "Salp", was changed to its current name in honor of the French revolutionary, the Comte de Gouyave. The town still retains its colonial architecture and the nutmeg factory is one of the mainstays of the local economy.
Cultural and Tourist Characteristics
In late June and early July, Gouyave hosts the "Fisherman's Birthday Festival", which includes fishing competitions, musical parades and traditional dances. The nearby Lefla Falls and Seven Sisters Falls are popular hiking destinations. The town is also surrounded by black sand beaches and coral reefs for snorkeling and diving enthusiasts to explore the marine life.
