4. 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 walked for centuries. The most recognized
site in Old San Juan is
Fuerte San Felipe del Morro
, better
known as El Morro. See page 248.
5. BOCA TABLA, CURAÇAO
Pounding Atlantic waves carved this sea cave. Kneeling in the
darkness, 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. See page 188.
6. WEST END, NEGRIL, JAMAICA
Negril's famous Seven Mile Beach gives way to rugged cliffs on
its west side and visitors find one of the best sunset lookouts in
the Caribbean. Every day crowds arrive at Rick's, one of the re-
gion's best known sunset bars, for the chance to watch another
island day draw to a close. See page 238.
7. 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 beauti-
ful, pristine beaches accessible. Keep an eye out for the vervet
monkeys that live in this remote region. See page 264.
8. 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 breathtaking view. See page 96.
9. 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 am to 4:30 pm every day. See page 374.
10. 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. See page 324.
