If your mental picture of the Caribbean is an image of a palm tree arching over a pristine white beach–breathtaking though that is– it may be time to revisit the region. The Caribbean is dotted with dozens of island nations, each with its own unique offerings for travelers. Are you drawn to historic forts, cobblestone streets and colorful Spanish architecture? What about lushly forested hiking trails that snake past tumbling waterfalls and bromeliads dripping with rain? Or would you rather explore multi-hued coral reefs teeming with rays, turtles and tropical fish? Come for the Food and Wine Festivals. Come for the Music and Jazz Festivals. Come for the Diving. Come to Relax.
There’s an ideal Caribbean island for just about every type of traveler, from foodies to families (and, yes, beach bums too). What Caribbean island is right for you!
