Caribbean town

Tropical coastal village

A Caribbean town is a settlement in the Caribbean region—the islands and coastal areas of the Caribbean Sea.

The phrase appears in crossword puzzles, travel writing, and geography contexts: We wandered through a sleepy Caribbean town with pastel buildings and palm-lined streets.

Such towns often evoke images of colonial architecture, tropical climate, and maritime culture.
