Providenciales

Providenciales is the epicentre of the country and home to world-famous Grace Bay beach.  This is the island they mean when they mention the Turks and Caicos. Despite being a newly populated island, the majority of the population reside here now and it is where most luxury hotels are and where all international flights arrive. 

Numerous water sports are available, from kayaking to some of the best dive spots in the world. You can ride a horse bareback down the beach or golf at one of the top 10 courses in the Caribbean.  Excellent fishing of all types is to be had just a short boat ride away to the Caicos Banks or the barrier reef.

Grand Turk

Grand Turk is the political and historical capital of the Turks and Caicos Islands.  Grand Turk, one of the two Turks islands, has more history than any other island in the country and is also home to the National Museum and the famous lighthouse.  Lack of extensive tourist development has helped retain it's traditional feel, unlike most other Caribbean islands.

The recent development of the Grand Turk Cruise Center has resulted in the island being recognized as a world-class cruise destination.  Nearly all tourists arrive via cruise ship as there are no international flights to the island.  For visitors to Providenciales, Grand Turk is a great day trip option and only a short flight away.
