There’s a reason why everyone from Conde Nast Traveler, National Geographic Traveler, TripAdvisor, and now Ramona consider this one of the best beaches in the world, because it is! Protected by an offshore barrier reef, it features calm, crystal-clear water.
HALF MOON BAY EXCURSION
A half or full day excursion with either Caicos Dream Tours or Island Vibes will be the best day of your vacation. Both snorkel the outer reef, dive for conch, and stop at the uninhabited scrumptious Half Moon Bay, reached only by boat.
Da Conch Shack, Omar’s, and Bugaloo’s
Da Conch Shack is world famous, casual rum punch on the beach. Bugaloo’s started the conch craze, on the water with live bands! Omar’s Beach Hut, my personal favorite, with tables in the water.
Day Trip to North and Middle Caicos
Explore the Out Islands! Laid back & charming. North – see flamingos at flamingo Pond. Middle- the most picturesque beach of all, Mudjin Harbour. A secluded beach on the cliffs, with stairs leading to a hidden cave.
Island Water Sports
With water so clear and turquoise, make sure to snorkel along the barrier reefs, bonefish, scuba, SNUBA, jetski, banana boats, parasail, kayak, Paddle Board, through mangrove wetlands, Kiteboarding, sailing, and so much more!
ISLAND HOPPING… OUT ISLAND STYLE!
Grand Turk
The capital of Turks and Caicos is actually sleepy, colorful and charming. Columbus landed here first (big debate!) Museum has largest collection of “messages in a bottle.” There’s alighthouse and prison, and buildings made of scraps from pirates ships. Cruise center has shops and largest Margaritaville in the world. Gibbs Cay swim with stingrays. Day trip from Provo early morning flight return in time for dinner.
Salt Cay
The land that time forgot, yet easy to remember. Salt Cay in the Turks and Caicos is a tiny, peaceful island with a population of about 100 people and no paved roads. Go around in golf carts, (don’t hit the roaming donkeys!), meet the “characters” that live there, they’ll be friends for life. January thru April go whale watching. Look for pirates graves. North Beach might be the best beach of all— Day trip from Provo on Caicos Express Airways 2-3 times a week.
MIddle Caicos
Caves with bats, dramatic cliffs with hidden paths, amazing beaches all to yourself. Bambarra Beach is a great spot for families. Hike along the historic Crossing Place Trail. It is funny how the biggest island in Turks and Caicos is the least populated. Day trip by ferry from Leeward (Where Barefoot Palms is) rental car on North gets you to Middle Caicos. On return to North, stop at Flamingo Pond and Barraccuda’s Bar at Pelican Resort before returning to ferry.
