The Caribbean has a huge range of enticing holiday venues to choose from. Here's a look at ten of the best of them.
One of the most popular Caribbean islands, at least with visitors, is Barbados. Generally viewed as a little more sophisticated than most of the more rustic islands, this flat coral island is blessed with some of the region's most beautiful beaches. Welchman Hall Gully is a real treat for nature lovers and wildlife watchers. Wherever you decide to go; remember to buy travel insurance online to ensure you’re covered for any eventuality, be it injury or theft.
Sea Fishing and Scuba Diving
Puerto Rico is the Caribbean island to head to if you love deep sea fishing or a spot of scuba diving. The island is part of the United States, politically speaking and is blessed with some beautiful white beaches. Its capital San Juan, founded in 1521, is the oldest city in US territory.
If you want some variety to your visit, then the Bahamas has over 700 different islands to explore, as well as some of the clearest sea water in the world. Indeed, visibility extends for some 180 feet underwater, making seeing the coral reefs very easy. With some inviting markets and great golf courses too, the Bahamas offers a superb all-round holiday.
Music and Magical Weather
Jamaica is one of the larger islands in the region and one of the most famous across the world. As well as its more obvious features such as wonderful beaches and weather, there is also a vibrant musical and sporting culture to enjoy. Jamaica is the home of reggae and where the most famous reggae singer in the world, the late great Bob Marley, lived.
Lying just north of Venezuela, Aruba is a good venue to head to at any time of year. This is because of its climate, which is less humid than is typical in the area. It has no hurricane season. Attractions include casinos, shopping and golf, as well as beaches and the sea.
The island of St Maarten is interesting, because it is shared by the Netherlands and France, with a border between the two areas of control which has remained peaceably intact since 1648. As well as pristine beaches, there is also duty free shopping and great restaurants to enjoy.
The Dominican Republic is very popular with people who are looking to get married in exotic surroundings. The landscape here features swaying coconut palms and mountains. A varied geography means that there is plenty of wildlife to enjoy, as well as activities like bird watching and camping for the more adventurous.
US Virgin Islands Paradise
The island of St Thomas is the place to go if you enjoy looking at wonderful views as the sun shines. This one of the US Virgin Islands was once the lair of pirates like Blackbeard. An island tour is a wonderful way to see everything that the island can offer.
St Croix is the largest of the three US Virgin Islands and its geography includes rainforests and deserts. A laid-back place in terms of its character and temperament, the temperature remains higher than 80F all year round. This is a good island for the more active holiday maker, with horse riding, water sports and ATV riding all popular here.
The island of St John is the third of the US Virgin Islands and while similar to its neighbours there are also differences for the perceptive visitor to spot. Around 60 per cent of this island comes under the protection of the US Virgin Islands National Park.
