* ''[[{{Ptitle4u1ht024ju96}} Sid Meier's Pirates!]]''

---> "It's PIE time, mon! ...o.o That be some GOOD pie, mon!"

* The commercials for Malibu rum seem to invoke this trope, despite the fact that Malibu is located in California.

* Don't forget the song "Kokomo" by the Beach Boys.

{{Pirate}} attacks have to be dealt with, [[RuthlessModernPiratates even in modern times]]. Except now they use machine guns instead of cutlasses and are less romanticized.

* The ''ChipAndDaleRescueRangers'' episode "Battle of the Bulge" features three fruit-devouring, evil-doing Jamaican fruit bats complete with the matching accent.

A chain of tropical paradises mostly between Florida and South America. The Caribbean is known for cruises, beaches, resorts, and the occasional {{pirate}} infestation. Beware of the Bermuda Triangle, while you're at it, too. Includes Puerto Rico, Jamaica, Virgin Islands, Bermuda, the Cayman Islands and others.

* The Andrews Sisters' classic "Rum and Coca-Cola" is about American tourists in Trinidad.

Excludes Cuba (since circa 1959) [[EspeciallyZoidberg and Haiti]]. Jamaica is a specialized case, mostly due to a perceived abundance of Reggae and Rastafari folks with a penchant for the "Wisdom Weed". The Bahamas is often mistaken for Jamaica much to the chagrin of BOTH countries' citizens. This is despite, however a minority of Rastafarians in Jamaica.

Also known as TheSpanishMain. Because it used to be full of {{Badass Spaniard}}s and [[InexplicableTreasureChests their loot]].

Also known as TheSpanishMain.

* There have been two one-shot comics with the FantasticFour visiting PuertoRico. They even fought a Chupacabra.

* ''Sid Meier's Pirates!''

* The ''MonkeyIsland'' series uses this, since it owes a lot to the original ''Pirates of the Caribbean'' ride, [[OlderThanTheyThink or vice versa]]. The [[EscapeFromMonkeyIsland fourth game]] actually features Guybrush trying to save the Caribbean from being converted into a tourist's paradise by a [[CorruptCorporateExecutive conniving Australian businessman]].
* Neil Gaiman's ''AnansiBoys'', played straight. (Yes. ''Neil Gaiman'' played something straight.) Well, kind of. Apparently [[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff people in the Caribbean are mad about country music]], and hand out limes to passersby. Although Fat Charlie was only given the lime because he expressed disbelief that limes grew there, so he was given one. Other than that no limes were handed about, except by Fat Charlie himself who became unusually attached to the lime.
* ''Sid Meier's Pirates!''

* ''{{TaleSpin}}'' spans the world, but the main locations of Cape Suzette and Louie's are definitely in a very Caribbean or South Pacific setting.
** Probably the South Pacific, since the show is apparently based on TalesOfTheGoldMonkey.
* Don't Forget the song Kokomo by the Beach Boys.
