Turks and Caicos Islands

Turks & Caicos consists of forty islands and cays in the chain. The most important beach in these islands is an island called “Providentials”, or more commonly known as “Provo”. This island represents the most developed island among these islands and also this island was ranked as the most beautiful beach in the world.
In these islands you can find a lot of things that will entertain you. You can make scup diving; snorkeling while enjoying the beautiful colors of coral reef and also you can go shopping and get lot of good presents for your family and friends.

Caicos Islands
Providenciales is the most well known of the Turks and Caicos Islands and is the center of the tourism industry with a wide range of hotels, restaurants, attractions and facilities.
Middle Caicos and North Caicos represent the best of the environment, with lush green woodlands, the biggest cave network in the Caribbean on Middle Caicos, cottage pond and flamingo pond in North Caicos and a vast range of plant life and birdlife. North Caicos is also an up and coming resort destination with several new projects under development.
South Caicos is the center for fishing, with lobster and conch exported from the islands, the historic Cockburn harbor and the natural phenomenon of the boiling hole. This small yet friendly island offers many secluded beaches with awe inspiring views of the turquoise waters and surrounding islands.

Turks Islands
The Turks Islands are separated from the Caicos Islands by Turks Island Passage, which is more than 2,200 m/7,200 ft deep), The islands form a chain that stretches north–south. Grand Turk and Salt Cay offer a glimpse into Caribbean history with great Bermudian architecture and a rustic charm as well as some of the best diving and probably the most "relaxing" time you will ever have. Grand Turk is also home to a brand new cruise ship center. The estimated population is 5,753 on the two main islands, the only inhabited islands of the group.
Together with nearby islands, all on Turks Bank, those two main islands form the two of the six administrative districts of the territory that fall within the Turks Islands. Turks Bank, which is smaller than Caicos Bank, has a total area of about 324 km2 (125 sq mi)



Even though much of the city seems to be in a permanent state of construction, the Turks and Caicos hotels here still provide some of the finest views and solitude in the whole of the Caribbean sea. If you have a car or taxi and the necessary desire, the beaches found on the southern coast of Provo are closer is resemblance to the deserted coves scattered across the island chain. Here you can find plenty of Turks and Caicos hotels to suit your every need – from high-amenity resorts to tiny discount villas. The unpretentiousness of these hotels and resorts stand in contrast to much of the rest of the island, and are probably some of the most effortlessly elegant places to stay in the entire Caribbean.

Have a nice time ~! :*
