    news stories happening in and around the Caribbean.

    The online version provides news from places like Barbados, Bermuda and the Bahamas, Antingua and Barbuda, Havana in Cuba, the Cayman Islands, Puerto Rico, St Kitts and Nevis, Martinique, Jamaica, St Lucia and Haiti.

    Whether your fare is travelling the Caribbean or travelling the world, the Caribbean Herald covers it all. Regional news, local news and international stories. The Caribbean Herald also updates global markets, provides regular news polls, and presents live weather forecasts for key locations.

    The online newspaper is a favourite with locals, ex-pats and frequent visitors to the islands. The fascination the world has with the Caribbean is captured by the Caribbean Herald.
