By Travel Expert: Candyce H. Stapen

  • Snorkel and dive the Columbus Landfall Marine National Park.
  • Look for pink flamingoes in the salt ponds.
  • See the anchor of one of the oldest shipwrecks in the New World.
  • Take a boat trip to Gibbs Cay for swimming, sunning, and snorkeling.
  • Watch for migrating humpback whales from January through March.


Grand Turk Overview

By Travel Expert: Candyce H. Stapen
Grand Turk, population 5,718, is an alluring anomaly. Even though the capital Cockburn Town serves as the governmental seat for the Turks and Caicos Islands, the village boasts more pink flamingos and salt ponds than official buildings. Although just a 40-minute flight separates Providenciales (Provo), Turks and Caicos' tourist hub, from Grand Turk, the latter is small enough that the occasional donkey moseys down Front Street. The island generally sports a laid-back feel, except at the south end's Grand Turk Cruise Center with its 500,000-gallon swimming pool, and mega-Margaritaville (www.margaritaville.com/grandturk.php), 17,000 square feet of cafés and shops.
