TOP 5 THINGS TO DO IN TURKS & CAICOS!

BEACHES

Beach on Providenciales has the upper hand. Due to consisting of broken down shells and coral, the sand in the Turks and Caicos is a measure above what’s found at the beaches in most other countries. Offering lush sea grass and brilliant coral reefs such as the Bight Reef and Smith’s Reef, come experience the luxurious beaches on your own. And remember, all Beaches in the Turks and Caicos are public.

CAVE SYSTEMS

Caves, sinkholes, blue holes and solution features can be found throughout the country, but are especially present on the Caicos Islands. Dry cave systems are typically the most interesting, and Middle Caicos has two dry systems that are open for tourism including Conch Bar Cave and the less-extensive Indian Cave.

DIVING & SNORKELING

Turks & Caicos have the third largest barrier reef in the world and countless spectacular wall dive sites. The islands sit on an underwater plateau that rises 10,000 feet up from the surrounding ocean floor. In many places, the transition from shallow to deep is obvious and impressive by the change in water color. Combined with the abundance of vibrant coral and sea life, it’s no wonder that Scuba Diving Magazine readers have voted the Turks and Caicos as having the best diving in the Caribbean.

ISLAND FISH FRY EVERY THURSDAY

Every Thursday from 5:30 PM to 9:30 PM at Bight Park, the islands host over a dozen local food vendors, entertainers and cultural acts to create an evening of “all things TCI” that entices locals and visitors alike to experience an evening in the park in a fun, family style setting! Come experience the aroma of fresh, fish frying permeating the air, while visual treats abound with vats of boiling lobster and conch salad masters plying their craft.

HIKING

For those who simply want to enjoy the beautiful outdoors, the country’s remote and wild coastlines offer an amazing hiking setting. The central islands of Providenciales, Middle Caicos, East Caicos and South Caicos offer varied and spectacular environments to explore. The nature reserves and national parks in the Turks and Caicos are still being developed for tourism, so grab a guide to show you around.
