Ryker BeckThe Turks and Caicos Islands are absolutely phenomenal and have some of the most unspoilt, beautiful areas within them. They are a very small, collection of Caribbean Islands with award winning beaches, endless water sports and activities to be enjoyed and the most delicious local cuisine. Holidaying here is a memorable experience, and one you’re not likely to forget quickly.
Here are just a few reasons to visit the Turks and Caicos Islands:
They Have The Most Beautiful Beaches In The World
With many clean, unspoilt beaches people will say they are the best they have ever visited, however, with the beaches in the Turks and Caicos Islands a lot of people agree. Grace Bay Beach has consistently won the Tripadvisor’s ‘Best beach Destination’ award over and over again, and a top travel review site has also ranked it the best beach in the world. So it’s not just a few visitors saying it, it’s a lot of people saying it. Expect the cleanest, whitest sand and the most azure, clear, warm waters lapping gently on the sand.
Exceptional Diving And Snorkelling
Here you can expect to enjoy the most epic marine life and unspoilt underwater worlds, the best in the Caribbean in fact. Sadly, there are many areas in the Caribbean where the coral reefs and marine life have been ravaged by tourism, a lack of environmental protection and pollution. In fact, according to environmental studies, only 10% of remaining coral reefs in the Caribbean are still alive. Luckily, the Turks and Caicos islands still have a vibrant and healthy underwater habitat, which means there’s still plenty to see and appreciate when diving or snorkelling in the area.
Deep Sea Fishing
Here you can experience some of the best big game fishing in the world, and will be able to catch fish like – Marlin, Tuna, Mahi Mahi, Grouper, Wahoo, Sharks, Sailfish, Swordfish, Kingfish and Tarpon. In fact, in the Summer months here record numbers of Marlin are caught from charter boats.
Water Sports
With such incredible, blue waters it’s not really much surprise that there is an almost limitless supply of water sports and water related activities for you to enjoy here. Enjoy activities such as; surfing, boat cruises, bone fishing, marine life watching, jet skiing, paddle boarding, kayaking and diving to name just a few. In this small collection of islands it is easy to adapt your trip to the changeable weather conditions. So if the sea is flat or the wind is low in one area, you can drive about 10-20 minutes to another section of coastline to enjoy the weather you need for the activity you want to enjoy.
It’s Easy To Get To
Although the flight from the UK won’t be particularly short, it’s still straight forward. Simply catch a 9-10 hour flight to Miami from London and then an easy 60 minute connector flight to the islands. You also won’t need a VISA to visit if you’re from Europe.
The Weather Is Perfect
All year round, the islands experience phenomenal weather. It is in a unique position to avoid hurricanes which means plenty of sunshine and perhaps just a little rain every now and again to help the islands lush vegetation along.
It’s Relaxed And Crowd Free
Although the islands are popular, they are still relatively undiscovered because they have only been developed since the 80’s. Many people don’t know about the islands yet, which means you don’t get the heaving crowds and tacky tourist attractions you get in many Caribbean destinations.
It Has Luxury Accommodation
As the islands are still relatively undeveloped, you will find that most of the accommodation is luxury in style, location and facilities. Coral Gardens is one of the most luxurious, beautiful resorts on the island and is famed for its spa, customer service and location. Coral Gardens is based on the world famous Grace Bay Beach – known as the best beach in the world. If you’re going to visit paradise, why not stay in paradise and enjoy a supreme level of luxury on a beach famous for being the best in the world?
