<![CDATA[<p>During the cold winter months, you will likely daydream of lying on a white sandy beach under the heat of the sun and you listen to the gentle waves lapping the shore. The Caribbean beckons and it is not an expensive undertaking to have a winter vacation in this destination. If a beach is what you crave at this time of the year, you can't go wrong with choosing one of the Caribbean beaches. Most of the hotels and resorts are built right on the beach so you only have to step out the door.</p>
<p>Antiqua is one of the islands where the beaches are famous. It is said that this island has a beach for every day of the year. According to the locals, the best of these beaches are Dickenson Bay, which is in the northwestern corner of the island and Half Moon Bay. The latter beach is a half mile long along the eastern coast and is covered in fine white sand.</p>
<p>Shoal Bay is an excellent beach on Antiqua. It is covered with silvery sand and is home to schools of iridescent fish darting among the coral reefs.  This is one of the excellent locations in the Caribbean if you want to engage in snorkelling. Just a short distance away you will find Katouche Beach, but you have to take a trail from Old Ta to reach it. This is the best spot on the island for a picnic under the shade of the trees.<br />Palm Beach, on Aruba, is a superb strip of fine white sand. It has been voted one of the 12 best beaches in the world by magazines, such as Conde Nast. It is the prime location to choose if you want to take in some swimming, sailing or fishing.</p>
<p>The Gold Coast of Barbados contains some of the best beaches in the Caribbean. This location is the site of some of the most expensive resorts in the Caribbean. Some of the best beaches in this area include Paynes Bay, Brandon's beach, Paradise Beach and Brighton Beach, all of which are public beaches, Cane Garden Bay, on Tortola in the British Virgin Islands, is a favourite with joggers on vacation. It stretches for 2 km and has white sand.  If you're looking for a really long beach, don't overlook the 9km long Seven Mile Beach on Grand Cayman. The beach is actually 5.5 miles long - not seven, in spite of its name.  There is a wide array of water sports available at this beach, which is lined with condos and resorts. The water maintains a consistent temperature of 80&amp;deg;. There is another beach of the same name on Jamaica, but is a nudist beach, so it is not for you if you are conservative.</p><a href="http://www.pheedo.com/click.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.trifter.com%2FCaribbean-%26amp%3B-Latin-America%2FThe-Beaches-of-the-Caribbean.218013"><img src="http://www.pheedo.com/img.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.trifter.com%2FCaribbean-%26amp%3B-Latin-America%2FThe-Beaches-of-the-Caribbean.218013" border="0"/></a>]]></description>

<![CDATA[<p >Barbados's many tourist attractions, location, people, and interesting facts are what makes it a wonderful island.	             </p>

 <p>Barbados is located in 14N and 59W.This Island was once a British Colony that held slaves who harvested sugar cane. This island is also in the northwestern hemisphere. It is surrounded by the Caribbean and Atlantic Ocean. It is about 166 square miles or 430 square km. Also, because of its relative location and size it has many beaches and places for water type activities. </p><p>                     Another great thing is Barbados's rich culture. The total population is 259,000. Also, these people's ancestors were African and British origin. They were slaves that worked  and colonized it after slavery was abolished. The main language is English, so if you plan on going there you're all set. And since the temperature is hot they wear light European clothing.	     </p><p>       Next to the great culture, Barbados also has many great places to visit. At the island's capital city of Bridgetown there are many shops, hotels, and churches. The same goes for Speight town Also you can enjoy luxurious scenery at Mullins Beach and enjoy the beautiful bay at Sandy Lane.	</p><p>           Next are the islands food, economy, and education. One other thing is that nearly all the adults on Barbados can read. This comes from the law that every child between the ages of 5-16 must attend school. So when they grow up many adults can read and write. The harvesting of sugar cane is a very important industry, but tourist attractions are achieving it in importance. Tourists should also prepare for some dishes like the flying fish burger or okra pudding or even roasted suckling pigs. The sugar cane also creates sweet and spicy rum that one person in the 17 century called “Devilish.”	</p><p>      In conclusion, the diverse culture, location, and tourist attractions are what make this country a great vacation spot for weary workers or for people who just want to have fun and a good time.  </p><a href="http://www.pheedo.com/click.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.trifter.com%2FCaribbean-%26amp%3B-Latin-America%2FBarbados%2FBarbados.25616"><img src="http://www.pheedo.com/img.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.trifter.com%2FCaribbean-%26amp%3B-Latin-America%2FBarbados%2FBarbados.25616" border="0"/></a>]]></description>
