Winner of the 1991 "Thomas Cook Best Travel Guide Award", this handbook is designed for visitors who want to understand the region, explore the lesser known islands, get to know the hidden parts of their favourite islands, and gain maximum benefit from their stay. It opens up the islands, helping discerning visitors discover rainforests, tropical birds, marine life, coral reefs, volcanoes and deserted beaches, as well as the region's unique cultural heritage. Although not written especially for boating people it does feature many aspects which would be of interest to them. All the main ports and anchorages in the Caribbean are covered, from a shore facilities point of view, and the sections on each island have information about diving, swimming and beaches.
