The Perfect Caribbean Island by Bike, Boat, or Scooter

Sure, some Caribbean resorts are made for staying put. But these islands are meant to be explored, be it by boat, motor scooter, or your own two feet.

Mountain cyclists may think it’s a yawn, but Grand Cayman’s flat topography and network of smoothly paved bike lanes are prime for road riders. Skip the busy downtown during rush hour and hit the 9.5-mile West Bay Loop coastal bike trail, which runs along the pristine beaches of Barkers National Park, past the Cayman Turtle Centre, and straight toward a handful of pretty waterfront bars.
