Hello Travelers,
Skip the cruise crowds and tourist traps—these five Caribbean destinations are where magic still hides.
🌋 1. Dominica – The Nature Island That Forgot the Resorts
Why Go:
No mega-hotels. No cruise terminals. Just boiling lakes, volcanic valleys, hot springs, black sand beaches, and a rainforest soundtrack that never turns off.
Don’t Miss:
- The hike to Boiling Lake—a steamy, bubbling cauldron in the middle of the jungle.
- Soaking in natural hot pools at Screw’s Sulphur Spa under the stars.
🕳️ 2. Dean’s Blue Hole, Long Island (Bahamas) – A Plunge Into the Abyss
Why Go:
It’s one of the deepest underwater sinkholes in the world (over 660 feet), ringed by soft sand and cliffs begging for a backflip.
Don’t Miss:
- Watching world-class freedivers descend into the abyss.
- Snorkeling the edge where the turquoise shallows drop to deep cobalt darkness.
3. Le Tombolo at Sainte-Marie in Martinique – The Hidden Sand Bridge
Why Go: For a few weeks each year (usually in early spring), a sandbar rises from the sea, forming a natural walkway to an offshore island.
🐚 4. Isla de la Juventud (Cuba) – A Pirate's Paradise
Why Go:
Once a hideout for pirates and political prisoners, now an under-the-radar escape with underwater caves, silent beaches, and mysterious cave art.
Don’t Miss:
- Exploring Cueva Punta del Este, covered in ancient indigenous art.
- Diving the marine park at Punta Francés—one of Cuba’s most biodiverse spots.
🏝️ 5. Anegada (British Virgin Islands) – Where Flamingos Outnumber People
Why Go:
Unlike the rest of the BVI, Anegada is flat, coral-based, and surrounded by shipwrecks, salt ponds, and beaches with water clearer than your dreams.
Don’t Miss:
- Grilled lobster at Potter’s by the Sea with your toes in the sand.
- Kayaking through pink flamingo territory in the salt ponds.
