This British Overseas Territory in the Caribbean is defined by Grace Bay’s dazzling turquoise water, ranked among the best beaches in the world.
Why Visit Turks and Caicos
Grace Bay Beach’s twelve miles of powder soft sand and gradually sloping turquoise water have earned it repeated recognition as one of the best beaches on earth. The surrounding barrier reef, one of the third largest in the world, provides excellent snorkeling and diving directly accessible from shore in many spots. The islands’ low key development and relative remoteness compared to other Caribbean destinations give them a quieter, more exclusive feel.
