10 Top Romantic Spots in the Caribbean
by Paris Permenter & John Bigley, Editors of Lovetripper.com
Looking for a way to heat up your romance? The answer just might lie in
the sunny Caribbean, a destination filled with enough sun and sand to
put the sizzle into every lovelife. You'll find the islands dotted with
romantic resorts but when it's time to get out and do a little
sightseeing, where are the best places for lovers to explore? Here are
some favorites with romantic-minded travelers:
Diamond Waterfalls and Gardens, St. Lucia. Blooming with tropical
splendor, garden trails lead to the Diamond Waterfalls, a cascade that
leaves a spray of "diamond" twinkles in the air. If you stop by on a
Sunday, you can also enjoy a soak in the mineral baths originally built
by French King Louis XVI for use by his troops.
The Baths, Virgin Gorda, British Virgin Islands. This beach is littered
with massive granite boulders as smooth as riverbed stones. They form
shadowy caves perfect for a clandestine kiss.
Y.S. Falls, Jamaica. Although the north coast's Dunns' River Falls is
far more visited, these secluded falls offer couples a much quieter
paradise. Cascading in steps through tropical forest, the falls can be
climbed with the help of a guide then swimmers can enjoy clear waters
under a canopy of ferns.
Old San Juan, Puerto Rico. Dotted with historic sites and rich with the
atmosphere of Spanish conquistadors, here couples can stroll
hand-in-hand where lovers have literally walked for centuries. The most
recognized site in Old San Juan is Fuerte San Felipe del Morro, a fort
better known as El Morro.
Boca Tabla, Curaçao. Pounding Atlantic waves carved this sea
cave. Kneeling in the darkness of the sea cave, you'll watch the surge
of crystal blue waves as they come within feet of you, roaring into the
cave and back out to sea.
West End, Negril, Jamaica. Negril's famous Seven Mile Beach gives way
to rugged cliffs on its west side and here visitors find one of the
best sunset lookouts in the Caribbean. Every day, crowds arrive at
Rick's, one of the region's best known sunset bars, for the chance to
watch another island day draw to a close.
South Peninsula, St. Kitts. Until a few years ago, this stretch of land
was accessible only by boat. Today a modern highway makes the island's
most beautiful, pristine beaches accessible. Keep an eye out for the
vervet monkeys that live in this remote region.
Natural bridge, Aruba. This symbol of Aruba marks the line where
tumultuous sea waves crash against the windward coast. Walk out on the
bridge for a cool sea spray and a breathtaking view.
Paradise Point, St. Thomas. Aboard ski-lift gondolas, you'll rise to
one point that never sees snow: the top of Flag Hill for a view of the
Charlotte Amalie harbor dotted with cruise ships. Gondolas ascend to
the point from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. every day.
Maracas Bay, Trinidad. About an hour from Port of Spain, the drive to
this area is a treat in itself, winding through the Northern Range with
views of forests where species such as howler and capuchin monkeys,
ocelot, Amazon parrots, and wild pigs can be found. The beach at
Maracas Bay offers a full day of fun and is the place to see and be
seen in Trinidad.
