Frequently Asked Questions

Nowhere: the island has no large terminal. The smaller ships that visit anchor offshore and land passengers by tender, often as part of organised water excursions. Expect the call to depend on sea conditions.
Five kilometres of powdery sand protected by a barrier reef, without a rock or a strand of seaweed to disturb the gradient of turquoise. International rankings crown it among the world's finest beaches year after year, and for once the ranking holds up on arrival.
Yes, remarkably so. The water shelves gently, with no notable current, over an even sand bottom: swimmers of all ages feel confident. The reef, a kilometre offshore, breaks the swell before it reaches the beach.
No. Several public access points let you spend the day at Grace Bay without buying anything. Chairs, umbrellas and water sports can be rented along the way for those who want them, but the sand and water belong to everyone.
At The Bight, the western continuation of Grace Bay, whose coral gardens can be reached by swimming from the beach. It is a perfect first snorkel: shallow, current-free, and straight off the sand.
A lagoon national park in the island's southwest, a milky blue studded with hundreds of limestone islets. A scenic road runs alongside it, and kayaks and paddleboards thread between the rocks where iguanas bask. The contrast between that opaque blue and the turquoise offshore astonishes even jaded travellers.
To Sapodilla Bay and Taylor Bay, the twin coves near Chalk Sound: warm, very shallow water with no waves. You can wade a long way in calf-deep water, which reassures parents as much as children.
The most popular leave Provo by catamaran or speedboat for the nearby cays: Little Water Cay, nicknamed Iguana Island for its colony of protected rock iguanas, the sandbars of Fort George Cay, or the long wild beach of Half Moon Bay.
No. The rock iguanas of Little Water Cay are a protected species and visitors stay on the boardwalks. As for starfish, lifting them out of the water kills them: you look, you don't pick them up, not even for a photograph.
The US dollar and English: the Turks and Caicos are a British Overseas Territory. Cards work in hotels, restaurants and with excursion operators; keep cash for taxis and beach rentals.
