Grand Turk, capital of the Turks and Caicos, boasts a mix of British colonial architecture and colorful Caribbean charm (Grand Turk Cruise Center)

Grand Turk Overview
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.
