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 travel:
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 ½ 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.

Nassau, BS 
Slip past swaying palms and sea
grapes to Seven Mile Beach, Jamaica's longest stretch of white sand. Lay out
your towel, sink into the sand and let slow-pulse reggae rhythms get you in the
mood for some serious chillin out.
Nassau is a scintillating clash
of contrasts--from glitzy casinos to quiet, shady lanes; modern, galvanizing
resorts to tiny settlements; and couture shopping to chatty street vendors.
Och's vibrant energy draws
visitors one hour south of Montego Bay to natural beauty, lazy beaches and
Jamaican merriment.
