While we collectively remain in COVID-19-imposed isolation, everyone needs at least a brief sense of escape from the "new normal". Being obligated to stay in your home doesn't mean that you can't dream of your favorite places to get away from it all or maybe even start sampling ideas for the vacation you'll take once the global crisis is finally over.
Although plenty of destinations' live-stream cameras have gone offline while much of the world is sheltering in place, we've found the following streaming webcam feeds, which offer much-needed opportunities to virtually visit the Caribbean while safely waiting out the pandemic.
