Turks & Caicos Islands
www.turksandcaicostourism.com The “Beautiful by Nature”
Turks & Caicos Islands are located in the British West Indies, 575 miles southeast of Miami, Florida and just a 90-minute flight from the American hub. This archipelago of 40 islands with only 10 inhabited, has something for everyone. With a warm, dry climate, friendly people and natural beauty it is not surprising that sixty percent of visitors return again and again, safe, quiet and boasting world class accommodations, spas, and restaurants, the Turks & Caicos Islands are an ideal location for relaxation, romance, diving, snorkelling, family holidays and ecotourism. The Islands boast an unrivalled reef system and 193 square miles of pristine white sand beaches.
Each island has a different
charm and character. In the capital of the islands, Grand Turk, visitors will love the pastel- shaded buildings and cobbled streets of the colonial town. Donkeys are still part of the traffic and you’re never far from a sugar-white Caribbean beach.
Make sure you don’t miss the amazing cave system on the island of Middle Caicos, also home to bats and some fascinating historical artifacts. And, finally, the endless beaches of Providenciales and the rock iguanas on Little Water Cay.
