Corn Islands, Nicaragua
Fifty miles offshore from Nicaragua, the twin isles of Big Corn and Little Corn island are a top draw for fishermen and solitude-seekers. You won't find major shopping and dining venues here, but artisan shops and street vendors line the quiet roads and offer up plenty of low-key diversions for island travelers who truly want to get away from it all. Transport to the Corn Islands is relatively easy given how remote they seem: Hop a 90-minute regional carrier flight to Big Corn island from Nicaragua's capital city of Managua, and from there, it's just a 30-60-minute water taxi ride to Little Corn.

Best Caribbean Waterfall You Can't Find Without Reading This
There's nothing rugged about the hike to these two St. Vincent pools fed by mountain water that cascades over Dark View waterfalls. It's surprisingly quick and easy, with sturdy wooden stairs leading to the upper tract. In fact, the ascent is so easy that it almost detracts from the awe of the mist-shrouded pools below, making me wonder if I missed something. But my driver, David, tells me that the road into the falls ultimately ends in terrain too treacherous for pavement, well shy of the summit of La Soufriere volcano. The journey to the falls' source is possible only from Kingstown, rounding the west coast through villages with names such as Petit Bordel and Chateaubelair that nod to the island's once-French rule. It's only during my drive home that I understand. As we descend into a valley — rough-hewn by volcanic fury and forested with coconut trees awash in golden afternoon light — it becomes clear that ...
Cheap Direct Flights Coming to This Caribbean Hot Spot
Editor's note: We've very excited about the news that American Airlines will start direct flights to Martinique this April. In honor of that, here's an account of our editors' recent trip to Martinique.
I blame Pierce Brosnan. Ever since I watched him seduce Rene Russo by whisking her off on a romantic island getaway in the movie The Thomas Crown Affair, I've longed to visit Martinique, where those steamy scenes were shot. So when the invitation to visit arrived, I jumped at the chance. That first morning, I'm struck by the dichotomy of Martinique: With its undulating terrain, roadside fruit stalls and tracts of sugar cane intersected by winding roads (some so hilly they change the orientation on my iPhone), the tiny isle first appears as Caribbean as any other. But ...

Snorkeling in the Dominican Republic
Snorkeling here today off Fronton Beach at the tip of the Samana Peninsula meant a sea spectacle for our eyes only. One colorful fish after another darted in and out of the nooks and crannies carved into the Dr. Seuss-like coral as black-and-white eels looked on from the seafloor. Every turn revealed something new -- purple fish, then blue fish, then black, then giant brain coral, swaying seaweed and flowering plants. An hour or so of this underwater bliss and then I had to return to life on the land -- and what beautiful land it is.
Dispatches: From the Grenadines
"Capt. Silas tells me to watch my head as the solid wood boom swings across our stern. This Carriacou sloop is rugged and fast, hand-built by nautical craftsmen, grizzled and tough like the masterpieces they construct. Taught by his father, Silas has been sailing the Caribbean's Grenadine islands since he was 8. Now 32, he can smell direction on the wind, deftly maneuvering through the Tobago Cays, navigating submerged coral heads that could chew through a wooden boat like a T-Rex-size termite.
Despite all this rugged grooming, our intrepid captain commands a vessel dubbed The Pink Lady, his pale-pink polo shirt and the boat's Barbie-pink hull a nod to his all-female racing crew and Silas' daily bit of pride swallowing. 'I just have to remember to change my shirt before I go home,' he says. The color of the boat doesn't characterize the captain, but it sure can embarrass him." —Photographer Zach Stovall
