Caribbean Archives - Page 3 of 35 - My Family Travels

Destination: Caribbean

The Caribbean, with its pristine beaches, crystal-clear waters, and vibrant culture, offers a truly unforgettable experience for families. Explore the ancient Mayan ruins in Belize, snorkel with tropical fish in the Bahamas, or build sandcastles on the white-sand beaches of the Dominican Republic. Keep in mind that winter is the busy (and expensive) season since it’s ideal for a warm getaway to escape the chill, but summer, although hotter, is more affordable and popular with families over the longer school holidays. With so much to do and places to choose from, the Caribbean is a great spot for an unforgettable family vacation.
