The Parish of St. David's is on the southeastern end of the island, and is home to a population of approximately 11,000. The coastline is littered with small bays and inlets, many with pocket-size sandy beaches, just perfect for a quiet picnic and a swim. This is basically an agricultural parish growing traditional crops of cocoa, nutmegs, bananas and spices together with a large portion of the sugar cane which thrives in the drier atmosphere of this southern parish. It is interested to note that this is the only parish in Grenada without a major town although there are several small villages and settlements. A police station, post office and some churches are all centrally located. The catholic church is predominantly situated on a bluff high enough to be seen many miles away in the south.
