The Caribbean Sea and its islands is also known as the Antilles by French speakers, Caribe by Spanish speakers and the West Indies by varied people due to Columbus' original idea that he had found a part of India. His SatNav was way off then. In English speaking areas of the Caribbean indigenous people are often referred to as West Indian. The Caribbean is composed of over 7,000 islands and islets [really tiny islands] - bordered by Florida the the north, Central America to the west and Venezuela to the south - that range from tropical to sub-tropical and specialise in superb beach holiday environments, brilliant scuba diving and world-class hurricanes [August to October].
