This region boasts enough idyllic sights to ignite a spark in any romance. Lovers will find these sites especially inspiring:

1. DIAMOND WATERFALLS AND GARDENS, ST. LUCIA

Blooming with tropical splendor, garden trails lead to the Diamond Waterfalls, a cascade that leaves a spray of "diamond" twinkles in the air. If you stop by on a Sunday, you can also enjoy a soak in the mineral baths originally built by French King Louis XVI for use by his troops.

2. THE BATHS, VIRGIN GORDA, BVI

This beach is littered with massive granite boulders as smooth as riverbed stones. They form shadowy caves where you can swim in water as warm as a bath.

3. Y.S. FALLS, JAMAICA

Although the north coast's Dunn's River Falls is far more heavily visited, these secluded falls offer couples a much quieter paradise. Cascading in steps through tropical forest, the falls can be climbed with the help of a guide, then swimmers can enjoy clear waters under a canopy of ferns.

4. OLD SAN JUAN, PUERTO RICO

Dotted with historic sites and rich with the atmosphere of Spanish conquistadors, here couples can stroll hand in hand where lovers have walked for centuries. The most recognized site in Old San Juan is Fuerte San Felipe del Morro, better known as El Morro.
5. BOCA TABLA, CURAÇAO

Pounding Atlantic waves carved this sea cave. Kneeling in the darkness, you'll watch the surge of crystal blue waves as they come within feet of you, roaring into the cave and back out to sea.

6. WEST END, NEGRIL, JAMAICA

Negril's famous Seven Mile Beach gives way to rugged cliffs on its west side and visitors find one of the best sunset lookouts in the Caribbean. Every day crowds arrive at Rick's, one of the region's best known sunset bars, for the chance to watch another island day draw to a close.

7. SOUTH PENINSULA, ST. KITTS

Until a few years ago, this stretch of land was accessible only by boat. Today a modern highway makes the island's most beautiful, pristine beaches accessible. Keep an eye out for the vervet monkeys that live in this remote region.

8. NATURAL BRIDGE, ARUBA

This symbol of Aruba marks the line where tumultuous sea waves crash against the windward coast. Walk out on the bridge for a cool sea spray and breathtaking view.

9. PARADISE POINT, ST. THOMAS

Aboard ski-lift gondolas, you'll rise to one point that never sees snow: the top of Flag Hill, for a view of the Charlotte Amalie harbor dotted with cruise ships. Gondolas ascend to the point from 9 am to 4:30 pm every day.

10. MARACAS BAY, TRINIDAD

About an hour from Port of Spain, the drive to this area is a treat in itself, winding through the Northern Range with views of forests where species such as howler and capuchin monkeys, ocelot, Amazon parrots, and wild pigs can be found. The beach at Maracas Bay offers a full day of fun and is the place to see and be seen in Trinidad.
