Caribbean is much more than its white sand beaches (although those are also pretty great)! Turn to Steve and Patrick for off-the-beaten-path recommendations and off-the-radar locations you might never have found otherwise.

My first experience with the Caribbean was on the shores. I fell in love with the soft white sand beaches and the gorgeous blue of the Caribbean Sea. We have been to this region a few times now and each time we go back there is still so much more to discover. With that in mind, here are a few of my favorite things to experience on the Caribbean side of Mexico.

If you live in a cold area, you have probably been wishing for the last several weeks that you could hop on a plane and jet off to the warm, beautiful white sandy beaches of the Caribbean Islands. Perhaps the cold, snow and ice have been so fierce, that you have actually begun to plan your vacation to the white sand beaches of the Caribbean, whether it is this year, or you are planning ahead for next winter.
