The safest island in the Caribbean was Saint Barthélemy, according to a study from travel platform Going. The company said the island is known for its "exceptional security" and for having the lowest crime rates. Popular among luxury travelers, the small island is renowned for its high-end resorts, exceptional nightlife, and top-notch shopping. The U.S. State Department also classifies the French West Indies, of which St. Barts is included, under its lowest Level 1 travel warning, telling Americans to "exercise normal precautions" when going there.
