After being battered by devastating hurricanes for several months, the Caribbean is ready to welcome back visitors craving some warm sunny beach time this winter.
While some islands still have a long road to recovery ahead, others are thrilled at the potential to attract tourists post-storm season.
It’s a win-win. Travelers get to enjoy the tropical environment and the local Caribbean economies get a boost from all of our tourist dollars spent on hotels, restaurants, water sports and souvenirs. You’re doing good just by spending money in the region.
That’s not to minimize the enormous suffering in areas such as Dominica, Barbuda and Puerto Rico. But the Caribbean is vast; there are many islands that were lucky enough to be spared from catastrophic storms.
Many people don’t realize that the distance between the Bahamas and Grenada is equal to traveling to Chicago from New York and back again. The Caribbean is one million square miles of tropical islands. And the region’s communal message to travelers? Come to the Caribbean.
Here are the destinations that you can go to this fall and winter:
Antigua
Aruba
Bahamas
Barbados
Bermuda
Bonaire
Cayman Islands

There are some islands that are still fighting daily to repair basic necessities. Eighty percent of Puerto Rico was still without power as of October 16 – donations are still the best way to help here.
