Caribbean islands
West Indies region
The Caribbean islands are the archipelago separating the Caribbean Sea from the Atlantic Ocean, stretching from Florida to Venezuela.
They include the Greater Antilles (Cuba, Jamaica, Hispaniola, Puerto Rico) and the Lesser Antilles.
The region is associated with tropical climate, tourism, and diverse colonial histories: We're planning a trip to the Caribbean islands next winter.
