There are many small islands in the Caribbean that attract tourists in groups. The islands bring to mind about cool breezes, swaying palms trees, golden beaches, crystal clear water rum and cocktails after sunset. Here are the most popular islands in the area.
One of the best places to enjoy the sun in this part of the world is Barbados. This island is relaxing, has great food, really friendly locals who speak great English, beautiful beaches, and clear water. This is an old British colony and there is a lot history here.
