How to read this map
The Caribbean Sea covers about 2,750,000 km² (1,060,000 sq mi) and reaches a maximum depth of about 7,686 m (25,217 ft). Countries with a coast on the Caribbean Sea: Mexico, Belize, Cuba, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama, Colombia, Venezuela, Jamaica, Haiti, the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, Grenada, Saint Lucia, France, Dominica, the United Kingdom, Saint Kitts and Nevis and the United States.
The blue outline marks the Caribbean Sea as mapped by Natural Earth. Towns and cities on the map include Bogotá, Miami, Medellin, Caracas, San Juan, Havana, Santo Domingo and Maracaibo. Labeled countries: Venezuela, Nicaragua, Honduras, Cuba, Guatemala and Panama.
Greens show lower elevations; tan and brown show higher land, with pale tones toward the highest terrain. Shadows emphasize the slopes, and vertical relief is exaggerated so landforms are easier to read. Dashed lines show country borders.
The relief uses Terrain Tiles (SRTM, GMTED2010 and ETOPO1 elevation data). Rivers, lakes, borders and the outline of the Caribbean Sea come from Natural Earth, and the figures on this page from Wikidata. Natural Earth draws features at a small scale, so the outline is a guide to where the Caribbean Sea is, not a surveyed boundary.
