Florida. Not a Caribbean Island but its proximity connects it to the Caribbean Islands giving Miami the geographical title as the captital of the Caribbean. In addition to the loads of imports done to the Caribbean from or through South Florida, there are many connecting flights to and from the Caribbean either through Miami or Fort Lauderdale International airports. Then there is the very similar climate, holiday spirit, beaches and variety of watersports.
