The Caribbean is a region consisting of the Caribbean Sea, the islands around it, and the surrounding coasts. The region is located southeast of the Gulf of Mexico and North America, east of Central America, and to the north of South America. The Caribbean consists of more than 7,000 islands, islets, reefs, and cays. These islands are called the West Indies, because Christopher Columbus believed he had reached the Indies in Asia when he arrived there in 1492. They form arcs that delineate the eastern and northern edges of the Caribbean Sea.

The West Indies are usually regarded as a subregion of North America and are organised into 27 territories including sovereign states, overseas departments, and dependencies. The region is collectively called the Caribbean, which comes from the Carib, a group of natives living in in the Lesser Antilles and parts of South America when the Europeans arrived. In the English-speaking world, a person from the Caribbean is usually called a "West Indian."
