 Dennery - Must See



 Dennery is a town and a quarter located on the east, or windward, coast of the island. Primarily a
 small fishing town, locals also cultivate lima beans, bananas, and other tropical fruit.

 Dennery is home of a local wine maker who ferments everything from bananas to coconuts for
 his wine making.

 A few miles off shore and south of Dennery lays the Frégate Islands Nature Reserve, a protected
 area where Frigate birds nest during the summer.
 Dennery Fish Festival
 After a week on the seas, the picturesque fishing village of Dennery puts its catch of the day
 on sale every Saturday. Patrons are treated to a variety of local fare while enjoying authentic
 Caribbean music in the open air.
