See a new side of the Caribbean in the latest issue of the Caribbean Collection by National Geographic Traveller (UK), showcasing places that promise both beauty and adventure — but without the crowds. From the best beginner-friendly dives in off-the-radar Anguilla to the top spots to spy some of the region’s rarest wildlife and soca-charged carnivals frequented almost solely by locals, this issue is a love letter to paths less trodden.  

Elsewhere, the Caribbean Collection shines a spotlight on the region’s local legends. Meet the owners of a smoky jerk shack and a floating rum bar in Jamaica, join a beachside barbecue in Barbados, where one chef creates culinary masterpieces using invasive lionfish, and discover how local champions are working to protect the Turks and Caicos’ caves and coral reefs.
