Hello, all. Recently, I must say, Listverse became my go-to website, the first site I check for the day as I go onto the internet, even before viewing my email! After viewing this list, people should think of the Caribbean as much more than white sands and azure-blue seas. Without further ado, I’d like to pay homage to these spectacular and beautiful islands, I am proud to call home.

Cuba (fondly called El Cocodrilo by the natives) and many other countries are known for having a lot of natural resources, that are exported throughout the world. Resources like bauxite, oil, iron ore, asphalt and nickel are some of the most common.
Bananas, cocoa and coffee industry are also popular sources of income in these islands (like Jamaica), and in most smaller islands that do not boast natural resources, these are the major contributors to their economy, apart from tourism.
