4..Caribbean Islands
A Guide to 5 Places to Visit in the Caribbean

The Caribbean is a wonderful destination with some of the worlds best beaches, exotic foods and secluded islands. Below we look at 5 places worth visiting in the Caribbean.

1. Barbados - If you're looking for a place with great recreational facilities, superb service and the perfect honeymoon aura, then you've picked the right island.. However, Barbados isn't for everyone. No where would you see nude bathing or parties on the beach till dawn; Barbados is about sophistication and the "Dolce Vita" high life Dine a romantic dinner on a terrace by the beach as the sun sets or visit the famous Platinum Coast (Millionaires Playground), whichever you choose, if you're looking for quality, class and beauty, Barbados will not disappoint.

2. The Cayman Islands - The Cayman Islands actually consist of 3 separate islands; Grand Cayman, Little Cayman and Cayman Brac. The brilliant thing about these islands is that they cater to all sorts of travelers like the family bunch or the honeymoon couple. If you and your family are vacationing, head for Grand Cayman, a picture perfect family destination filled with dozens of adventures around every corner. Families can spend quality time together by visiting endangered animals or even touching and feeding stingrays at Stingray City.

3. Jamaica - Undoubtedly one of the most popular Caribbean islands to date, Jamaica is the third largest island with plenty of worthy places to visit. For starters head for Montego Bay; a popular tourist destination which is also known as the "Friendly City" in. If you're a big city lover, Kingston is for you but there are of course many other regions such as The South Coast, Port Antonio and Ocho Rios for your exploration. For the serious trekker, be sure not to miss out on trekking Blue Mountain Peak, a real challenge which provides immense gratification and feeling of accomplishment after.

4. The Bahamas - The Bahamas itself consists of over 700 islands so it can be hard deciding where to go. The Bahamas is famous for two things; bone-fishing and its beautiful beaches. My pick would be Harbor Island with its famous 3mile long pink sand beaches, rated as the best in the world. Being on this island makes you feel like its all about you, with little people on it at one time so in other words, like your very own paradise island.

5. St.Barts - St. Barts is one of the most beautiful and exciting islands in the Caribbean. If you love to people watch, this is the place to come to, with beautiful people going to beautiful beaches from dawn till dusk. French is the official language here but you can get around easily in English too. If you happen to travel during January or February, catch the Festival de Musique, a real celebration which attracts favorites from all around the world.
