Caribbean Region
The Caribbean refers to a region of the world where many islands are nearby. To be more specific, the countries in this part of the world belong to the Caribbean Sea, which is the body of water that splits the Atlantic Ocean in two.
The continent of Africa lies to the east of the Caribbean, and the Caribbean Sea extends as far west as Central America. All the Caribbean countries are islands because they are not part of the mainland. If you count all the countries that are part of the Caribbean, you will discover that there are twenty-nine of them.
