The Caribbean is a hugely popular tourist destination for a reason.
Well, several reasons if we’re honest, but the sun, sea, and sand aspect of things is out in front of the rest. The popularity and sheer volume of paradise island-style resorts is not lost on any traveler.
And yet, ask yourself… do you think of it as a family getaway?
Romantic sunsets, carnival-style parties, and sunbathing are a stock-in-trade aspect of Caribbean holidays. However, all of these aspects have something in common.
For a child, they could be considered either boring or inappropriate. For this reason, when we think of “family” holidays, we think of destinations like Disneyland or educational trips to the Grand Canyon.
We rarely think of the Caribbean, and this means that young and old both can be missing out.
Go to the same old family haunts and it soon becomes repetitive for parents. Holiday in the chic fairytale destinations that you see on TV, and kids will – in short – be bored out of their skulls.
Or, you could take yourself to a spot where sunbathing, nightlife, excursions and family activities are such an option. Do you know of such a place?
Well, thankfully the Caribbean has lots of islands to choose from, and plenty to do while there.
For kids of all ages, there are delights in store on the islands.

The Bahamas
Film fans may think of the Bahamas as that spot on the map where Chief Brody goes in Jaws 4 to get away from the shark-based horrors of his past (instead of somewhere less coastal like Wyoming, weirdly…).
The islands of the Bahamas are, no doubt, popular with retirees, but there’s a lot here for kids too.
While parents may look at the island of Atlantis and crave the magnificent French restaurants and spas, kids can marvel at the free cinema and kids-only pools.
The whole family, meanwhile, can gaze in wonder at the 97-acre waterscape where marine life swims all around you (though safely behind Plexiglass).
