The less traveled part of the Caribbean
.jpg)
There's so much to love about the Caribbean, and so much to hate.
The "hate" category exists because the Caribbean we have all come to love is now loved by too many; there are too many hotels, too many tourists, and too much development.
But there are exceptions.
Thankfully, the fine folks over at Condé Nast Traveler have compiled a fantastic guide to the less touristy places along the Caribbean side of Central America that "are still under the radar" -- such as Corn Island in the photo above. This also includes the coasts of Belize, Honduras, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, and Panama.
No, you won't find the swank, sophistication, and luxury yachts that populate the rest of the Caribbean, but you will find the peace and solace that comes with small coastal villages, empty beaches, and modest accommodations.
This is the true Caribbean, the way it used to be. Visit now before it becomes just another Cancun.

When traveling the Caribbean it is important to take the road less traveled. Get out and meet the locals, soak in the culture. A lot of people never leave their All-Inclusives. All resorts have amenities and features with great beaches. You could be on any island and they would all be the same if you never left.
Get out and explore!
Cheers!
