The Caribbean encompasses 970,000 square miles of the Atlantic Ocean. It is bordered in the north and east by the West Indies; the south by South America, and the west by the Central America isthmus. Caribbean water is clear, clean, warm (75 degree F) and less salty than that of the Atlantic Ocean.
The Caribbean is a hotbed of tourist activity offering luxurious resorts on most every island. Each island offers it's own unique history, culture, and more than likely, rum.
Popular for spring break vacations or extended cruises. If you like beautiful clear water, warm sand between your toes and sandals, and alcoholic drinks with little umbrellas, then you should look for some islands in the Caribbean. |
