| The Caribbean offers visitors a truly unique experience
with nature; the islands provide an experience with
raw, rugged nature that is an ideal complement to the
more traditional tourism fare of the Caribbean
.
The Caribbean is the world's most popular destinations
for scuba divers and snorkelers. Many of the islands
have their own coral reefs, with spectacular underwater
gardens teeming with sea life of all types.
Foodies: Anguilla . Though the island
is small and untouristy it has more first-rate restaurants,
including Blanchard's and Mango's, than any other island
in the Caribbean .
Beaches: Antigua is renowned for its
miles of pristine beaches. Barbados also has great beaches.
Negril , Jamaica 's seven-mile beach is still spectacular
but it isn't the paradise it once was because of overdevelopment.
Nightlife: Aruba is often referred
to as the Caribbean's Las Vegas , because it has so
many casinos and clubs.
Snorkelers: Bonaire has been the
place to go for the last decade. Cozumel also
has good snorkeling, and Saba is an up-and-coming destination
for avid snorkelers who want a new place to explore.
Music: You can't go wrong in Jamaica
because the indigenous culture is deeply rooted in reggae.
Plus there's the Bob Marley Museum in Kingston , which
is state-of-the-art and quite remarkable. The islands
of Trinidad and Tobago are also great bets during Carnival. |
