Caribbean Island
Travel
Some call it “paradise.” Others call it “heaven on earth.”
Well, one thing is for sure, a Caribbean island travel is exactly what you need
if you’re looking for beaches, boats, banks, bikinis, and other tropical
vacation essentials.
Located right at the tip of South America and surrounded by
the Gulf of Mexico on one side and the Atlantic Ocean on the other, the
Caribbean is not just the No. 1 playground for the Americas, but also comprises
movie-set beauty, coconut tree-clad mountains, verdant valleys of sugarcane and
bananas, and seashore galore. Even the cities here glow with glorious
architecture and the towns dotting the region have been established long before
the automobile.
The islands are awash with island-flavored culture with just
the subtlest hint of European influence, and world-class hotels, resorts,
restaurants, activities, attractions, and shopping. There are over fifty island
destinations to choose for your Caribbean island travel and each has its own
extensive catalogue of accommodations and activities for the Caribbean’s famous
exotic warm weather.
Below are our top picks for an awesome Caribbean island

New Providence, the Bahamas
Most visitors erroneously call it “Nassau” because the
island is the site of the nation’s capital, which was named after the Dutch
Prince of Orange-Nassau in 1695 after he took over the British throne. In
truth, the island is New Providence where about two-thirds of the Bahamian
population lives, and where millions of dollars are invested in Nassau, Cable
Beach, and Paradise Island. In recent years, New Providence has created a name
for itself as one of the top places to visit when on a Caribbean island travel.
Considered an offshore financial center, New Providence is
most obviously a fabulous shopping bazaar and Caribbean island travel
destination. Stroll along the world-famous Bay Street and side streets and bask
in the Caribbean carnival atmosphere. Or visit one of the out islands of the
Bahamas – the famous Nassau and Paradise Island, connected with each other by a
bridge.
But while the Bahamas has plenty to offer, what it is really
most famous for is its island groove. The drumbeat is the essence and the soul
of Bahamian culture with the instrument setting the heartbeat for all Bahamian
music, including rake ‘n scrape, Junkanoo and goombay.
Bermuda
An isolated paradise, Bermuda sits right in the middle of
the great chasm – the Atlantic Ocean between North America and Europe. Couple
that with a history of English settlement and you have an island that is as
unique as its topography. This Caribbean island travel destination is
spotlessly clean, quaint, orderly, and extraordinarily pretty. Think pink and
green. Pink for the pastel shades that wash this 21-square mile island. And
green for the color of money that Bermuda’s offshore banking and insurance
sectors generate. Plus, it is only a convenient 2 ˝ hour flight from most major
cities on the US East Coast.
There are no slums, no billboards, and very, very few fast
food outlets. Inconvenient? Not likely. Because all this is minor compared to
the glorious sight this Caribbean island travel destination offers. From the
colonial architecture of the tidy homes that line its roads to the fragrant
tropical flowers – Bermuda is all beauty and grace.
