Capital and main port of Guyana, situated on the east bank of the Demerara River at its mouth on the Atlantic coast. There are food processing and shrimp fishing industries. Principal exports include sugar, bauxite, rice, and diamonds. Georgetown is almost fairy tale in appearance, thanks to the tree-lined streets and avenues and the quaint Dutch colonial and Victorian architecture stemming from its days as Dutch and English colonies. Georgetown lies below the high-tide level, protected by a seawall with a series of canals crisscrossing the city.
