• OFF THE BEATEN TRACK - THE TURKS AND CAICOS
ISLANDS
One of the loveliest island chains in the Caribbean. Halfway between Miami and Puerto Rico and just 30 miles south of the Bahamas.
The Turks and Caicos are unlike any other holiday destination you have ever tried. If you want to get away from it all you can find the perfect hideaway, romantic, tranquil and perfect for lovers.
If you want more - there is the beautiful marine life and beaches; the world's third longest coral reef; Jo-jo the friendly wild bottlenose dolphin; excellent bird watching; ocean fishing; sailing and wind surfing and for the more active, a new 18 hole championship golf course. But it is Diving that is the most popular activity.
Providenciales - Provo for short is the main island resort with most tourism facilities. Home of the famous annual International Billfishing Tournament
Grand Turk - Grand Turk is the capital and business centre. It is also the historical and cultural centre.
South Caicos is the Mecca for fishermen and home to the Commonwealth Regatta, while on Salt Cay you can still find lovely old Bermudian style buildings.
East Caicos is an uninhabited island just waiting to be explored by sailors and picknickers.
Middle Caicos features a dramatic coastline, secluded beaches and limestone caves.
Gonfishing is a friendly website where you can learn more about the Turks and Caicos Islands Billfishing tournament as well as the opportunity to compare prices of saltwater fishing equipment.Gonfishing
The Turks and Caicos are a British Dependency, so they drive on the left! But the currency is US dollars. You can hire a car, or a scooter on Provo or Grand Turk. Flight and hotel deals available from Expedia. Flights to Provo are available with American Airways via Miami.
