Caribbean Basin

Region of North America

The Caribbean Basin or Caribbean Proper is a geopolitical term used to describe countries which generally border the Caribbean Sea. As a geopolitical concept, the term often includes the country of El Salvador, which only touches the Pacific Ocean, for its similarities to neighbouring countries. The definition has also been taken literally at times and can exclude areas such as Barbados and the Turks and Caicos Islands which also do not technically touch the Caribbean Sea.
