Bottle Creek North Caicos

Along with Whitby, Kew, and Sandy Point, Bottle Creek Village is one of four small settlements found on North Caicos. The village is located on the east side of the island overlooking the scenic Bottle Creek Lagoon.

Bottle Creek is the largest settlement on North Caicos and has most of the island's government offices, as well as the only ATM on North and Middle Caicos. The south end of Bottle Creek Village has several rental villas and a restaurant.

If you're visiting North and Middle Caicos on a day trip, ensure that you have sufficient fuel for your vehicle before leaving for the adjacent and connected island of Middle Caicos, as the island does not have any convenient location to purchase fuel. Bottle Creek Village is the last settlement before the North and Middle Caicos Causeway, and is home to one gas station.

Sights and Attractions

The primary draw to Bottle Creek is the incredible view from the village and the Bottle Creek Promenade over the adjacent lagoon and East Bay Islands National Park. This vista competes with Chalk Sound on Providenciales, Mudjin Harbour on Middle Caicos, and Plandon Cay Cut on South Caicos for the accolade of the best landscape in the Turks and Caicos.

Kayak rentals are available in Bottle Creek, as well as in Major Hill. A few Bottle Creek accommodations provide kayaks for their guests.

History

Bottle Creek and the nearby Major Hill area once supported quite a few of the Loyalist-era plantations and historical sites. Today, the empty ruins of houses, field walls, and wells still stand from those long-past days.

One such site of note was Belleview Plantation, which was one of the better-developed Loyalist plantations in the country and actually had defenses to protect against pirate and privateer threats.

South of Bottle Creek were the plantation and agricultural sites of Laughland, Belmont, and Ready Money.
