There are hundreds of Caribbean Islands to research.
It might be easier to concentrate your project on only one island.

Some of the lesser known islands are Nevis, Virgin Gorda (British Virgin Islands), St. Kitts, and St. Barths.

There's a web site devoted to the Caribbean islands. Check out http://www.caribbeans.com .

I would focus on just one of the islands....unless you want your project to be a book! Turks and Caicos is a gorgeous island..lots of history... another great island I would study would be the Bahamas... good luck with your project.

Caribbean Islands

Anguilla A 16-mile-long coral formation created by a geologic uplift which created numerous bays, salt ponds and the beautiful beaches we see today...
Antigua & Barbuda Antigua (pronounced An-tee-gah) is a British Leeward Island. Formerly a British colony, it has retained strong links to British tradition (and is deeply devoted to the English sport of cricket).

Aruba The island was originally inhabited by a tribe of Arawak Indians who migrated here from Venezuela. Many sites on Aruba still bear the original Indian names, and many of today's Arubans still reflect the faces of their native ancestors.

Barbados Barbados is a great island getaway, offering not only beautiful pink, sandy beaches, but also a rich cultural heritage and a wide array of sightseeing attractions.

British Virgin Islands The British Virgin Islands -- whose main islands are Tortola, Virgin Gorda, Anegada and Jost Van Dyke - are known as "Nature's Little Secrets". With little desire for mass tourism, The BVI has remained an escape from the bustling souvenir shops and glittery nightlife associated with so many Caribbean islands.

Cayman Islands The Cayman Islands are a small chain of islands lying about 480 miles south of Miami, FL. Grand Cayman is the largest and only significantly populated island (about 30,000 of The Caymans 32,000 population live on Grand Cayman).

CuraÃ§ao Varied adventures await visitors to CuraÃ§ao, a Dutch Leeward Island and one of the ABC Islands with Aruba and Bonaire.

Dominica The rugged, unspoiled landscape of mountain peaks and valleys is covered with lush rain forests, impressive waterfalls and exotic flora.

Dominican Republic Part of the island of Hispaniola which they share with Haiti, the Dominican Republic is one of the fastest growing tourist destinations in the Caribbean.

Jamaica Jamaica was colonized by Spain in 1494, seized by Britain in 1655, and achieved independence from Britain in 1962. It is the third largest Caribbean island, and can provide both a stimulating and tranquil vacation.

Martinique Island.

Puerto Rico Island.

St. Barts Saint BarthÃ©lemy, commonly known as St. Barts, is a serene and special island that may remind visitors more of the south of France than the Caribbean.

St. Croix St. Croix is the largest and most rustic of the United States Virgin Islands. The island's main towns are Christiansted and Frederiksted.

St. John St. John is home to beautiful beaches, bays and coves, and the Virgin Islands National Park. The park land was donated to the US by the Rockefeller family and opened in 1956.

St. Kitts & Nevis Separated by a two-mile channel, St. Kitts (officially named St. Christopher) and Nevis are in the northern part of the Leeward Islands in the Eastern Caribbean.

St. Lucia The second largest of the Caribbean's Windward Islands, St. Lucia has drawn more and more tourists each year to enjoy its lush natural resources.

St. Martin Saint Martin - Sint Maarten - a half-French, half-Dutch island - offers two different cultures in one vacation destination.

St. Thomas Separating the Caribbean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean, St. Thomas is the most developed of the United States Virgin Islands. Its brilliant blue waters are a haven for diving and watersports, and its beaches, including Magen's Bay, beautiful.

Trinidad & Tobago Trinidad and Tobago are the most southerly of the Caribbean islands, lying just a few miles off the Venzuelan coast.

Turks & Caicos The Turks and Caicos Islands, which lie at the south end of the Bahamas chain, are separated by the Turks Island Passage connecting the Atlantic Ocean with the Caribbean.

Other destinations:

The Bahamas The Bahamas consists of over 700 islands and cays, all with friendly people, beautiful beaches, and magnificent dive spots.

Central America:

Costa Rica Nature is Costa Rica's biggest attraction. The incredible diversity of wildlife is probably due to the fact that Costa Rica lies in the middle of North and South America and is a convergence zone for species from both continents.

Mexico: (more Mexico destinations coming soon!)

Acapulco Acapulco is known for it's string of beautiful beaches but there's much more to see and do. A visit to Old Acapulco will bring you back to historic times and have you dancing to live music of both yesterday and today.

CancÃºn & Cozumel Development of CancÃºn began in 1974 and the area has rapidly evolved from lush green jungle and deserted white beaches to a favorite tourist destination for visitors from around the world.

Many islands in the Caribbean over the past few years have continued to expand and develop their infrastructure towards tourism, noting that St Lucia above all has embraced the void left by it's failing banana industry and despite the lack of hype, it's tourist facilities are top-notch and makes it a perfect destination.

Mark Felix, the MD says that while many of the islands including Trinidad and Tobago, Jamaica continue to make their presence felt in sports and music worldwide, there are lots of unspoiled gems waiting to be discovered.

Dominica, the first thing you'll notice about this island is how intensely green the island is. Lush, steep-sided peaks rear up 4700 feet to meet cloud-capped summits that receive enough heavy rainfall to feed hundreds of mountain streams.

Grenada, is known as "The Isle of Spice" producing one third of the world's supply of nutmeg along with quantities of cinnamon, cloves, ginger, turmeric and mace, while largely dependent on agriculture, the tiny nation which includes other smaller Grenadine islands is steadily earning a reputation as a holiday destination.

The French islands of the Caribbean should not be forgotten, Martinique, Guadalupe, St Martin/St Maarten shared between the French and the Dutch since the mid-seventeenth century, the tiny island is one of the most touristed islands in that part of the Caribbean.

To add to the vast diversity of the Caribbean there is the British Virgin Islands and the US Virgin Islands with their sea-swept landscapes, historic towns, duty-free shopping and luxurious resorts, these islands bask in the combination of familiar yet exotic which makes them the most popular cruise-ship destinations in the Caribbean.

If I was writing about an exotic place I would chose Morroco. It has mystery, open air markets, topaz blue waters, nomads (some of whom are blue due to the dye in their cloths), and much more. I don't find the caribbean exotic.
