The Turks and Caicos Islands, best known for its crystal clear turquoise waters, beautiful white sandy beaches, delicious sea food cuisines and friendly people. This is the place I am proud to call home. People always ask – Why come to the Turks and Caicos? Why not choose the Bahamas or Jamaica as a vacation destination? What does Turks and Caicos have to offer?

With miles and miles of beautiful beaches, we were awarded to the have the BEST BEACH in the world. It is a blessing to have easy access to such a natural beauty unlike other persons.  People travel every year, across the world just to relax and untwine on our beaches.  To make this destination a wonderful island vacation, as I would call it, it wouldn’t be complete without things to do at the beach. Surrounded by one of the most extensive coral reef systems in the world, we offer a number of water sporting activities to enjoy our “Beautiful by Nature” waters. Snorkeling, scuba diving, fishing, parasailing, windsurfing and much more can make a vacation here to the islands an unforgettable one.

A very unique thing about the Turks and Caicos is that unlike the other Caribbean countries, we have something different to offer on all of our inhabited islands. Providenciales is the most developed island where you will find the infamous Grace Bay Beach and world class accommodations. Grand Turk has a lot of culture where you’ll find salt ponds still standing, donkeys, horses and cattle still wondering the streets like the days of the Bermudian Salt Rakers. South Caicos has the most protected and finest natural harbor of all the islands. Dolphins, manta rays, turtles and even humpback whales can be seen on the island of South Caicos. North Caicos has miles of lush land and high hills making it a great place for bird watching and rock climbing. These are just a few things that make Turks and Caicos different from other Caribbean countries.

Beautiful beaches, unique islands and great food make my place of home a wonderful vacation destination.
