Grenada is famous for spices and is known as the "Spice Isle", being a major source of nutmeg, cloves, ginger, cinnamon, and cocoa. It is home to all three types of cocoa in the world. A popular breakfast drink on the island is cocoa tea, made from local cocoa and spices. Grenada also boasts the oldest functioning water-propelled distillery in the Caribbean – River Antoine Rum Distillery.It is an island nation that is almost half covered with forests, yet it does not have any species of venomous snakes. Leatherback turtles – the largest living species of reptile, dating back to the era of dinosaurs – can be seen on the beaches of Grenada. The majority of events on Grenada seem to be boat races and regattas. The Carriacou Regatta in July and August.
