turks and caicos
Turks and Caicos is all about the water. Grace Bay on Providenciales is one of the world’s best beaches, and the reef that runs around the islands keeps the sea calm and clear.
Beyond Provo there are private islands like Parrot Cay, the caves and cliffs of Middle Caicos, and the old salt islands of Grand Turk and Salt Cay, where humpback whales pass in winter.
