Beaches Turks and Caicos

The Turks and Caicos sits on an underwater plateau that rises 10,000 feet (3000 m) up from the surrounding ocean floor. In many places, the transition from shallow to deep is quite impressive. 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.

There’s great snorkeling, snorkeling, kiteboarding, paddle boarding, parasailing, windsurfing, surfing, fishing, boat cruises and more. There’s always a great water sport to enjoy in the beautiful marine environment of the Turks and Caicos. Or you could simply relax on Grace Bay Beach.

Located 1 hour and 9 minutes from Miami, or 2 hours and 36 minutes from New York City by plane. It doesn’t get much easier than that. We have direct flights from New York, Miami, Dallas, Atlanta, Houston, Philadelphia, Charlotte, Toronto, and London. Let’s face it. If you have a week off for vacation, do you really want to spend 20 hours and 16 minutes flying from New York to Bali? Or 9 hours and 44 minutes flying from Miami to Honolulu? Oh, and American, UK and EU citizens don’t require a visa to visit.

The weather’s in the 80f to 90f (27c to 32c) range all year round. We don’t get much rain, and it’s commonly said that we have 360 days of sun per year on average. Hurricanes tend to pass us on the south (and hit Hispaniola) or pass north (and hit the Bahamas or eastern US).

We are a British Overseas Territory with a rich culture and heritage of our own. We take pride in our identity and history. We offer modern amenities and convenience to our visitors. Our official language is English, we use the US Dollar as our currency and our power outlets and voltages are the same as those in the United States. We have a stable government and a peaceful society. You can rest easy knowing that your vacation is free of political unrest and instability.

Providenciales is a wonderful destination for fine dining. There’s a wide array of cuisines to tempt your tastes. Locally-caught seafood of course play an important role in many dishes.

Turks and Caicos is a hidden gem without the crowds of Nassau or Montego Bay. Half the people you talk to won’t even know where it is. Yet, it is a place where celebrities like Bruce Willis, Donna Karan, and Keith Richards own homes, and others like Ben Affleck, Jennifer Garner, and Eva Longoria honeymooned. Vacationers like Julia Roberts, Tom Cruise, and Barbra Streisand also love to visit.
