Turks and Caicos
By Ayesha Girgla



Located just southeast of Miami and 50 miles away from the Bahamas, you will find the gorgeous white sands and crystal blue waters of Turks and Caicos. The island has been known to be the vacation spot of many celebrities such as, Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner, Eva Longoria and Tony Parker, and Bruce Willis. Why go to Turks and Caicos? The unspoiled beaches and warm waters are probably the biggest selling point. This is one of the few islands that, although most of its revenue comes from tourism, it manages to remain a quiet and peaceful place. It is the perfect island to come to if you are looking for a calm retreat to one of the many beautiful resorts that line the white beaches. What is there to do in Turks and Caicos? Turks and Caicos is home to one of the longest coral reefs in the world which makes this an ideal place for the undersea adventurer. Enjoy breath taking views above and below sea. Take part in the many water activities available to you such as snorkelling, parasailing, water skiing or even join in on a day cruise that takes you around the island on a small yacht with food and drinks free flowing all day. If you prefer to stay on land then many of the resorts offer great options such as, tennis courts, swimming pools, and life sized chess boards to name a few. If all you are looking for is relaxation then look no further than the amazing beaches that stretch out around the island lined with beach chairs and umbrellas.
Where do I stay in Turks and Caicos? Convinced? As Turks and Caicos is a small island resorts are the way to go.
