The islands in the Caribbean Sea, located southeast of North America, and east of Central America, are known as the Caribbean. There are over 7000 islands, and a huge number of reefs in the region, located mostly on the Caribbean Plate.
The West Indies includes the Antilles – which is itself divided into the Greater Antilles to the north, the Lesser Antilles to the south, and the Leeward Antilles to the east; the Bahamas located to the Northeast; and the Bermuda, which lies to the north in the Atlantic Ocean.
