For East Coasters, Puerto Rico is an easy jaunt\u2014a direct flight and no passport needed. Other popular islands, like Grand Cayman and Turks and Caicos, provide\u00a0white sand beaches and turquoise waters for anyone suffering from a serious Vitamin D deficiency, or just needing a relaxing place to escape.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/2017\/02\/18-romantic-hotels-in-florida\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>RELATED<\/strong>: 18 most romantic hotels in Florida<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">While returning to the same, familiar destinations over and over again makes sense, let&#8217;s be honest: It&#8217;s also a bit lazy. There are at least 28 different nations in the Caribbean, made up of more than 7,000 individual islands. So, the next time you&#8217;re headed south, why not try somewhere new? We&#8217;ve put together a list of 5 incredible islands that you may\u00a0not have heard of&#8230;yet.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_57986\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-57986\" class=\"wp-image-57986\" src=\"https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/IMG_24481-600x394.jpg\" width=\"800\" height=\"525\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/IMG_24481-600x394.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/IMG_24481-300x197.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/IMG_24481-768x504.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/IMG_24481-518x340.jpg 518w, https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/IMG_24481-1250x820.jpg 1250w, https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/IMG_24481-400x262.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-57986\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Port Elizabeth in Bequia | Photo by Compass + Twine<\/p><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>BEQUIA<br \/>\n<\/strong>Pronounced Beck-way, this beautiful little dot on the map is part of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/Destinations-In-St-Vincent-And-The-Grenadines.d169.Hotel-Destinations\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Saint Vincent and the Grenadines<\/a>. In fact, it&#8217;s the second largest island in the Grenadines. Colorful\u00a0Port Elizabeth draws in the sailboat and yacht crowd, and we&#8217;re pretty sure Jack&#8217;s Bar on Princess Margaret Beach is what keeps everyone coming back time and time again. A chill spot with cool design and killer cocktails, every seat at Jack&#8217;s Bar\u00a0has a gorgeous\u00a0view, and when you&#8217;re done, just walk down the wooden stairs until your feet hit the sand.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Bequia means &#8220;island of the clouds&#8221; in the ancient language of Arawak, spoken by some of its very first settlers. A relaxed stroll\u00a0along the soft, fine sand will let you know how it got its name pretty quickly. Spend some time exploring the 7-square mile island and it will likely become a new favorite.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_58094\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-58094\" class=\"wp-image-58094\" src=\"https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Canouan-by-Ian-Mackenzie-_-Flickr1-300x200.jpg\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Canouan-by-Ian-Mackenzie-_-Flickr1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Canouan-by-Ian-Mackenzie-_-Flickr1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Canouan-by-Ian-Mackenzie-_-Flickr1-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Canouan-by-Ian-Mackenzie-_-Flickr1-510x340.jpg 510w, https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Canouan-by-Ian-Mackenzie-_-Flickr1-1250x833.jpg 1250w, https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Canouan-by-Ian-Mackenzie-_-Flickr1-400x267.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-58094\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A view of Canouan from above. | Photo courtesy of Flickr CC: Ian Mackenzie<\/p><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>CANOUAN<br \/>\n<\/strong>Canouan may\u00a0be a little more difficult\u00a0to get to, but that&#8217;s what makes it so special. \u00a0The best was to reach\u00a0this tiny Southern Caribbean island\u00a0is to fly to Barbados and then take a little puddle-jumper plane, island-hopping until you get there.

Calm cerulean water and beautiful beaches make it ideal for land-goers as well. Only about 3,000 people live full-time on the island so you may even have a beach to yourself. While some of the sailing and yacht-specked\u00a0islands in the Caribbean can have a pretentious air about them, Union Island certainly does not. It&#8217;s as laid-back and nonchalant as can be. Everyone&#8217;s there for the same reason\u2014to unwind on a remote\u00a0and rugged little Caribbean Island. Beyond its own shores, Union\u00a0Island is also a great jumping off point for the Tobago Cays, which offer\u00a0some of the most vibrant reefs and best snorkeling in the Caribbean, along with other great islands in the area.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_58093\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-58093\" class=\"wp-image-58093\" src=\"https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Flamenco-Beach-Angel-Xavier-Viera-Vargas-_-Flickr.jpg\" width=\"800\" height=\"536\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Flamenco-Beach-Angel-Xavier-Viera-Vargas-_-Flickr.jpg 3872w, https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Flamenco-Beach-Angel-Xavier-Viera-Vargas-_-Flickr-300x201.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Flamenco-Beach-Angel-Xavier-Viera-Vargas-_-Flickr-768x514.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Flamenco-Beach-Angel-Xavier-Viera-Vargas-_-Flickr-600x402.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Flamenco-Beach-Angel-Xavier-Viera-Vargas-_-Flickr-508x340.jpg 508w, https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Flamenco-Beach-Angel-Xavier-Viera-Vargas-_-Flickr-1250x837.jpg 1250w, https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Flamenco-Beach-Angel-Xavier-Viera-Vargas-_-Flickr-400x268.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-58093\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Flamenco Beach on Culebra | Photo courtesy of Flickr CC:\u00a0Angel Xavier Viera-Vargas<\/p><\/div>\n<p><strong>CULEBRA<br \/>\n<\/strong>Culebra is a sleepy, yet quirky small\u00a0island municipality off of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/Destinations-In-Puerto-Rico.d148.Hotel-Destinations\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Puerto Rico<\/a> that happens to be home to one of the most beautiful beaches in the world.\u00a0Puerto Rico mainland lies less than 20 miles to the west of Culebra, and St. Thomas, of the US Virgin Islands, lies less than 20 miles to the east.
