Caribbean Getaway

By: Declan Vickery

Looking for the ideal getaway? The Caribbean may just be everything you are looking for: sun, sand, warm water, and accommodating people. The Caribbean has everything. This article will discuss just a few of the reasons so many people list the Caribbean as their favorite vacation spot and can't wait to go again next year.

Caribbean refers to a group of islands in the Caribbean Sea. Cancun, Cozumel and the Mayan Riviera, in Mexico, are often referred to as part of the region. There is beautiful weather all year round and it's a popular destination for "snowbirds". Snowbird refers to pensioners who like to head to warmer climates in the winter months.

With so many islands in the Caribbean, it's hard to pick exactly where to spend your holiday. Each one has its own unique history and flavor. On many of them you will find ruins that draw you in and make you wonder about past civilizations. The ruins at the Mayan Riviera feature archeological sites dating back to the Mayan era. They will fascinate and inspire you, they are so interesting. Some islands, such as Saint Martin/ Sint Maarten are multi-national. This island has both a French half and a Dutch half to explore.

Guadalupe, a must see, actually consists of two islands: Grand-Terre and Basse-Terre. The culture is Creole which merges African and French traditions. It's a flamboyant place, famous for great beaches, resorts and rum. Visiting Guadeloupe will take you to islands of beaches, modern cities and little out of the mainstream inlets.

Another of the Caribbean Islands that is a treat to visit is St. Thomas, which is known by sailors the world around as one of the yacht capitals of the world. The shopping in St. Thomas will keep you busy for hours before you head back to your private villa or exotic resort. When you visit Charlotte Amalie, the capital of St. Thomas, you will be able to dine at one of the many restaurants that line the streets before talking a stroll along the boardwalk. If you are in the mood for staying out all night you can indulge yourself in one of the many bars that can be found along the coastal waters.

It doesn't' matter which Caribbean island you decide to visit. You will always find the most gorgeous blue and clean waters under the ever shining sun. Once you visit, you will want to come back often to visit all of the islands.
