BEST FAMILY VACATIONS IN THE CARIBBEAN!!
For
those who live in the Northern Hemisphere know that this is your
chance to flock towards brighter and warmer places to soften the blow
from the winter winds. Why not bring the whole family with you? Here
we have created a list of the best Caribbean destinations to visit
with your family for the Holiday Season!!
Puerto
Rico plays a large part in history for the Spanish culture since
Christopher Columbus’s 2nd voyage claimed this territory from the
indigenous Taino people in 1493. With waves of different cultures
trying to discover more of the Western World, Puerto Rico has always
been on the pathway through and that’s why there is such a
beautiful blend of them in all the people here. San Juan is the
capital and most populous city of the island and is where you will
find tons of historical monuments such as the ‘Fuerte San Felipe
del Morro’ and ‘Castillo de San Cristobal’ that were built to
protect the city of Old San Juan from land attacks. Speaking of Old
San Juan, an infamous, quaint, and vibrant grounds of it’s previous
life that has been beautifully restored and is worth the walk
through. With tons of clear, calm beaches to swim in, shops to
explore, and mouthwatering food to dine on, Puerto Rico is hand down
one of the best places when it comes to family travels and there’s
something for everyone!
Whether
you’re thinking about Spring Break or a regular Summer family
vacation, the Bahamas is probably one of those destinations that
almost everyone thinks of but still shows to be relevant to this day.
With roughly about 700 islands altogether, the Bahamas can easily
rule as number one when it comes to beach vacations because of the
millions of visitors each year, duty free shops, scuba diving, and
fishing activities, all on top of their picturesque beaches that are
found on many computer backgrounds. Families usually come here solely
for the infamous Atlantis Bahamas mega resort that is an outrageous
waterpark on top of many other amenities for all ages.
Ironically,
the remarkable island of Aruba and her sister islands, Bonaire and
Curacao, were originally nicknamed the ‘Useless Islands’ in 1513
by the Spaniards. Other than swimming and enjoying the crystalline,
divine bays, a popular activity to indulge in is scuba diving because
the waters have hidden treasures and coral reefs to explore. If
family vacation this year is for scheduling in some time for some
adventure and for relaxing times, Aruba is hard to be beat.
‘America’s
Caribbean Paradise’ is the preferred name of the United States’
very own Virgin Islands that embodies an incredible amount of culture
of both Creole and Spanish descent. All the islands, St. Thomas, St.
John, and St. Croix, are all accessible to each other and are unique
in their own fashion but stand equally as beautiful. St. Thomas is
the most visited island with many luxurious shops and yachts anchored
in the harbor and has a reputation of their wild annual Carnival
celebration. While just a 30-minute ferry ride away, St. John appeals
to the honeymooners and a much more relaxing Caribbean vibe. St.
Croix being the least visited island, still stays important because
of its sugar plantations and rum distilleries. Come explore the triad
of the U.S. Virgin Islands that will add so much personality and
flavor to your family vacations.
Just
like many of it’s Caribbean counterparts, Turks & Caicos is
known for its turquoise blue waters and extraordinary, fine white
sands. With two groups of tropical islands together, the exploration
is endless from Grand Turk’s Turks & Caicos National Museum to
the Salt Cay’s coral reef that is one of the world’s largest.
Their main reputation gears more towards a secluded getaway but again
there are many reasons why to bring the family here. Not to mention
that along with their increased amounts of visitors, more chain
restaurants and seaside adventures to have been setting up shop.
Overall, these Caribbean islands are enriched with culture and
history that have something for everyone so why not bring your family
here to soak in the sunny days and salty airs in this paradise.
