Islands

The Caribbean is a vast sea containing over 30 sizable unique islands. Starting just south of Florida, in the United States to the northern coast of Venezuela, the Caribbean covers an area of over a million square miles. The islands vary historically and culturally but share an incredibly wonderful climate. Year round temperatures in the upper 80's and low humidity driven by Caribbean trade winds makes any island a wonderful escape, any time of year.
