Central America is a landmass that extends from Mexico to Panama. The Caribbean Islands are a bunch of islands in the Caribbean Sea, located east of Central America, south of North America, and north of South America.
yes it is a part of central america.
The most important difference is geography: while Mexico and Central America are within the North American mainland, the Caribbean is a group of islands that extends between Cuba and the Bahamas, between of the Yucatan and Florida Peninsulas, down to the Los Roques Archipelago, just north of Venezuela.
As for cultural traits, the region's culture has traits and influence from African, European, and Amerindian traditions; unlike Mexico and Central America which have been heavily influenced by Amerindian and Spanish cultures.
