The Turks Islands include Grand Turk and Salt Cay. Grand Turk is the financial and business center. In the quaint capital of Cockburn Town, the homes and buildings lining the narrow streets offer many fine examples of Bermudian colonial architecture. Visitors come here for the water – to swim, snorkel, fish, sail and windsurf, but especially to dive.

Amond the major inhabited Caicos Islands are Providenciales, North Caicos, Middle Caicos, South Caicos, and Pine Cay. Providenciales, or Provo for short, is the principal tourist island in the chain. Luxurty resorts, condominiums, full-service dive resorts, and private homes have been built on its green hills and near its gorgeous beaches.

The Turks and Caicos will spoil any beach lover.

Driving is on the left-hand side of the road. Jitneys - are small vans that you flag down during the day. You share rides with whoever the driver happens to pick up... Be sure to set the price first with Taxi Drivers so there are no misunderstandings.
