Destination Information for Turks and Caicos
An archipelago of 40 low-lying coral islands, Turks and Caicos is a British Overseas Territory situated in the Atlantic. The main reason to visit is award-winning beaches, where deep blue ocean washes up against white sand. The most popular is Grace Bay Beach, which has been crowned TripAdvisor’s Best Beach Destination several years in a row. The islands are also home to the world’s third largest barrier reef, with the vibrant coral making for some magnificent scuba diving sites.
The climate in the area is also fabulous all year round, as Turks and Caicos are said to get over 360 days of sun per year. It has a unique appeal because of the lack of crowds, due to the fact that 20 years ago no one had even heard of Turks and Caicos. This means that visitors can enjoy their relaxation uninterrupted.
