The Caribbean Sea is a tropical sea in Central America, and home to numerous islands and peninsula cities with beautiful beaches and warm waters. Thousands of tourists visit the region each year. The Caribbean region includes islands such as Martinique, the Dominican Republic, Haiti, Saint Martin, Puerto Rico, Margarita, and Cozumel, as well as peninsula countries including Mexico, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Honduras, Venezuela and Belize. The Antilles are a group of islands which stretch from Florida in the USA to Venezuela, forming an ark which separates the Atlantic Ocean from the Caribbean Sea. These were the first territories discovered by Christopher Columbus in 1492 and were named the Caribbean Islands until being renamed in the seventeenth century.
These days the Caribbean is a tourist destination for thousands of visitors each year attracted by its crystal clear waters, its quality hotels, its sun and warm temperatures, its white sands, its coral reefs, and above all its energy and its leisure options. Every year the Caribbean receives visitors from Europe, Asia and North America who come to enjoy an unforgettable holiday.
The islands here have a heritage of Spanish, French and English rule, and there are still French, English and Dutch colonies in the zone. The most common languages spoken in the region are Spanish, French, English and various Creole languages.
The peninsular part of the Caribbean, to the west of the islands, includes countries like Mexico, Costa Rica, Colombia, Venezuela, Belize, Honduras- all of these have coastlines on the Caribbean, and some of them have coastlines on the Pacific and the Caribbean.

The islands have been very successful at exploiting their natural treasures for the economic benefit of the region.
The Caribbean Sea is to the east of Central America, in a tropical zone on the equator, and has gulfs, capes, bays, and areas with a sea depth of more than 7000 metres.
There are hundreds of islets, islands, and archipelagoes in the Caribbean, the saltiest sea in the world, which historically has been colonial territory of one country or another, and which is still today the location of hundreds of small colonies and protectorates.
