Caribbean - all islands
Grenada is the legendary Spice Isle, where nutmeg perfumes the air. Fort George guards the entrance to the colorful, pedestrian-friendly capital of St. George's. The 18th-century garrison and the hilltop Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception offer the best views of the city and its picturesque harbor, the Carenage. To the south of St. George’s is the wide expanse of Grand Anse Beach, the main resort area.

Bequia is known as the Grenadines’ “big” small island for its captivating combination of great natural beauty, classic Caribbean experiences and unhurried ambience, all in just seven square miles. The capital, Port Elizabeth, is a yachting town with a village feel, set on the scenic natural anchorage of Admiralty Bay. At the bay’s western end, Princess Margaret Beach is one of the island’s many stunning stretches of sand. Turquoise waters and colorful reefs ring Bequia, offering great snorkeling and diving. A hike in the forested, hilly interior is rewarded with views of St.
Les Saintes are a volcanic archipelago of two islands and seven uninhabited islets surrounded by thriving coral reefs and clear seas. Small at just over two square miles, Terre-de-Haut is the most developed of the group, thanks to an anchorage-rich coastline of scenic bays, natural harbors, quiet beaches and charmingly picturesque villages. The ambience is decidedly low-key, and days are devoted to beachgoing, hiking, snorkeling and diving.
The Tobago Cays are an eco-paradise of pristine, aquamarine waters, sparkling white beaches and amazing wildlife in the southern Grenadines. A cluster of five uninhabited cays and the surrounding barrier reefs protect seabirds, native plants, iguanas, sea turtles, colorful hard coral and tropical fish. Tobago Cays Marine Park can only be reached by a boat, which can anchor in a sandy-bottomed lagoon. From here, snorkeling and diving explorations reveal a vibrant underwater world. In the Baradal Turtle Sanctuary, get close to green and hawksbill turtles in their natural habitat.
The West End of Tortola is exactly that, the island’s western reaches. The verdant hills of both the bigger island of Tortola and tiny Frenchman’s Cay form a sheltered U-shaped harbor with beautiful views out to Great Thatch Island and Little Thatch Island. The scenic setting is complemented by a mix of the waterfront shops, restaurants, bars and casual eateries that cater to the nautical crowd, who laud it as a favored anchorage in the BVI. On the Tortola side of the harbour, a ferry terminal welcomes vessels from the islands of Jost Van Dyke, Saint John and Saint Thomas.
The lovely island of Curaçao is home to more than 30 beautiful beaches and a cosmopolitan capital. Vibrantly hued heritage architecture is the hallmark of Willemstad’s historic center, whose two sides span Sint Anna Bay, connected by the floating Queen Emma Bridge. On the east side, enjoy the waterfront cafés, galleries and shopping – including a floating market – of the Punda. Other key sights, such as the landmark Fort Amsterdam, a 17th-century synagogue and the acclaimed Curaçao Maritime Museum, are concentrated in and around this district. Nearby Pietermaai is known for nightlife.
