Things to do in Turks and Caicos

Full guide

Grace Bay Beach

Walk it end to end in the morning, before the beach loungers fill. The calmest water is usually on the eastern end.

Tickets and tours →

Snorkeling at Smith's Reef and Bight Reef

Reefs you can swim to from shore on Provo, with turtles and rays. Best on calm days, which are most common in summer.

Tickets and tours →

Chalk Sound

A shallow lagoon of surreal turquoise dotted with small islets, best seen by kayak or paddleboard in the morning.

Tickets and tours →

Iguana Island (Little Water Cay)

A protected cay with endemic rock iguanas, reached by boat. Stay on the boardwalks.

Tickets and tours →

Middle Caicos and Conch Bar Caves

Take the ferry to North Caicos and drive the causeway to empty Mudjin Harbor and the island's large cave system. A full day.

Tickets and tours →

Grand Turk and Salt Cay

The historic capital, salt pond heritage, wall dives right offshore, and whale watching from roughly January through April.

Tickets and tours →

Beat the crowds

Target late April through May: winter weather without winter rates or crowds.
If you add a Grand Turk day trip, pick a day with no cruise ships in port; on ship days the island's beaches and Cockburn Town fill up.
Get to Chalk Sound and the snorkel reefs early, when the water is calmest and the tour boats have not yet arrived.
Stay on North or Middle Caicos for a night or two to see a version of the islands that has almost no crowds at any time of year.

Know before you go

September and into October: many restaurants and some resorts close for maintenance and vacations. Confirm your hotel's dining options before booking a fall trip.
Boat trips and ferries to North Caicos depend on the sea; winter fronts and summer storms can cancel them for a day.
Grand Turk's cruise center dominates the island on ship days; on other days its beaches and historic Cockburn Town are very quiet.
