6 Reasons Why You Should Visit Turks and Caicos Islands

Looking for a new place to see? You have probably heard of Turks And Caicos Islands and guess what? The hype is true!

Turks and Caicos is an archipelago of 40 low-lying coral islands in the Atlantic Ocean, a British Overseas Territory southeast of the Bahamas. The gateway island of Providenciales, known as Provo, is home to expansive Grace Bay Beach, with luxury resorts, shops and restaurants.

Famous for beautiful beaches and electric turquoise water, Turks and Caicos is also famous for its 14-mile barrier reef on Provo’s north shore and a dramatic 2,134 m underwater wall off Grand Turk island.

Collectively, there are approximately 340 miles of barrier reef surrounding the Turks and Caicos, with about 240 miles of it bordering the Caicos Islands archipelago and Caicos Banks, and about 100 miles of the system encompassing the Turks Islands chain.

All that to say, this place is a dream destination.

If you are making the trip to Turks and Caicos, here are 6 things you will absolutely love about this place:
