Trinidad and Tobago

Photograph by David Alan Harvey

Boats sit huddled in the shade of a palm on Tobago. This Caribbean island, little sister to Trinidad, offers more than uncrowded beaches, pristine reefs, thriving birdlife, and uncut rain forests. Tobago is "Old Caribbean," meaning there are no high-rise hotels or shopping malls.

Dominica

Photograph by Michael Melford

A rainbow arcs over trees blooming on a hillside in the West Indies island of Dominica. The country's interior can receive some 300 inches (760 centimeters) of rain each year, yielding hundreds of square miles of mountainous, densely forested wilderness, much of it protected as state land.

Havana, Cuba

Photograph by David Alan Harvey

Flanked by a classic Chrysler, a group of men enjoy a curbside dominoes game in Havana, Cuba. The streets of Cuba are at times a living classic car show, lined with pre-Castro relics of the 1940s and '50s. Some have their original engines; others make do with Russian-made replacements.

Carnival in Grenada

Photograph by David Alan Harvey

On the island of Grenada, Carnival is celebrated in mid-August to avoid a conflict with the anniversary of its independence from Great Britain on February 7. Here, revelers with greased bodies and dead snakes play jab-jab, patois for Satan. The Evil One must be appeased before one can gain entry to heaven, says the street-theater script.

Haitian Girls

Haiti, poorest nation in the Western Hemisphere, is trying to distance itself from years of violence and political unrest. Here, two girls in the resort city of Cap-Haïtien run from a photographer as he tries to take their picture in 1987.

Havana, Cuba

Photograph by David Alan Harvey

Life unfolds at a leisurely pace in Havana, Cuba. Here, streets resonate with the clip-clop of horses' hooves and the squeak of bicycles as a young man tinkers with a U.S. jalopy by the curb.

Trinidad, Cuba

Photograph by David Alan Harvey

The oldest church still standing in Trinidad, Cuba—Nuestra Señora de la Candelaria de la Popa, built in the early 1700s—needs restoration and is closed to the public. Yet it still attracts townspeople who gather at the hilltop site to watch the sun set.

Scott's Head, Dominica

Photograph by Michael Melford

A rooster skips past a fishing boat beached on the rocky shore of Dominica's Scott's Head. All along the Caribbean side of the island, the warm, placid waters provide pristine coral gardens for snorkelers and an abundance of fish for the local fishermen.

Samana Cay, Bahamas

Photograph by James L. Stanfield

Crabbers hunt for their quarry by torchlight on the Bahamas' Samana Cay. Many historians think that the island's Lucayan Indians, using the same hunting technique, may have been the lights "like a small wax candle" that Christopher Columbus wrote about in his diary before his fleet landed here in October 1492.
