The
Ultimate Beach Hideaway
For
everyone who has ever dreamed of getting away from it all and finding a tropical
hideaway far removed from all the hustle, bustle, fuss and muss of modern
life-the Turks & Caicos is that rarest of discoveries, a true island escape.
Envision 230 miles of sandy white beachfront, gently lapped by some of the
clearest, aquamarine seas in the entire universe. With 40 islands to explore
in this exquisite chain, only 8 of them inhabited by anything other than wildlife,
you can really leave your mark by creating footprints in the otherwise untouched
sand. Revel in the warmth of the sun, stake out your own palm tree, discover
new shades of turquoise as you gaze your fill at the ever shimmering waters,
close your eyes and let the cool sea breezes caress you and embrace the state
of complete relaxation you've been seeking for so long.
A
Diver's Mecca
Whether
you are a seasoned diver who has logged hundreds of hours under the ocean's
waves or a beginner poised to dip your toes into the marvels of the undersea
universe, the Turks & Caicos provides some of the most spectacular diving
on the planet. The waters off the island chain boast 1,000 square miles of
reefs and some of the most impressive walls of coral in the Caribbean, not
to mention historic wrecks dated among the oldest in the Western Hemisphere.
No surprise, then, that Scuba Diving Magazine has rated the Turks & Caicos
one of the top 5 diving destinations in the entire world! So, when you're
ready to experience the unparalleled mysteries of the sea floor for yourself
and claim a first row seat from which to watch the antics of whales, spotted
Eagle Rays, Manta Rays and a whole ecosystem of thriving marine life, there
is literally no place better than the Turks & Caicos Islands.
A
Nature Lover's Extravaganza
If
you thrill to the thought of observing nature in its pure and undisturbed
state, then this place is your very own wonderland. From bird watching to
whale sightings, the Turks & Caicos Islands offer something for every nature
enthusiast. In the months between December and April, you stand an excellent
chance of getting a glimpse, or perhaps even more, of a Humpback Whale. This
is because the entire Atlantic herd of 2,500 Humpback Whales annually migrates
directly through the twin underwater plateaus of the nearby Turks Banks. If
your interests run more to observation of the soaring denizens of the sky
or the indigenous land-based tropical creatures, then you simply can't miss
a trip to one of the salt ponds or inland marshes-protected habitats for a
vast array of exotic fauna and flora. Here you can spot a multitude of richly
plumed birds, ranging from the Great Blue Heron to Flamingoes. You'll also
definitely get a kick out of the numerous iguanas that call these islands
home. And no matter what your favorite area of the animal kingdom, you should
not pass up the opportunity to meet Jo jo, the local resident bottlenose dolphin
who loves nothing more than to escort dive boats on their travels and sometimes,
if he's in the mood, cavort with divers and snorkelers.
