While most people refer to the Caribbean islands, in truth the Caribbean is much more than that. It’s an archipelago that is home to 7,000 reefs, cays, islets and islands; a region that covers an area 2,500 miles (4,020 kilometers) long and 160 miles (257 kilometers) wide. In addition to the most popular locations, there are beautiful small islands to visit by local boat trips if you favor to explore the path less travelled.
Starting close to the United States you can explore the Virgin Islands. These islands offer a glorious blend of American and British culture and are well worth the trip to both sides to enjoy their unique flavors. For those who love sand and surf, the US Virgin Islands are a true delight with a wonderful array of activities and the “must see” world underwater where some of the most beautiful, natural coral reefs can be found. The British Virgin Islands provide one of the most exciting overland experiences in the region.
