There's more to life than sun, surf and sand (Caribbean Tourism)

The classic cold-weather destination for East-Coasters, the Caribbean offers a tropical clime, beautiful white sand, and clear, blue-green water. Add in the savory food, friendly locals, and encyclopedic variety of tropical rum drinks, and you've got a stellar spring break. But how many beach-bum, booze-hound days can you really spend? (Don't take that as a challenge.)

Round out your blue-lagoon experience by snorkeling with stingrays (and feeding them by hand) in Grand Cayman; or swim with rowdier, riskier marine life— Caribbean reef sharks. Hike Jamaica's famous Blue Mountains, and ply the gorgeous Bahamian waters via sea kayak. Regardless of the activity level, you'll still be living on island time.
