🏝️ Two Island Worlds, One Paradise
The archipelago is divided into two distinct island groups:
- The Turks: Characterized by their dry, scrubby landscapes and historic charm.
- The Caicos: Lusher and greener, offering a more tropical feel.
Between them lies the Columbus Passage, a deep marine channel that serves as a migratory route for humpback whales, dolphins, and rays—a dream come true for marine life enthusiasts.
🌞 Beaches, Reefs, and Pure Bliss
With just eight inhabited islands surrounded by powdery white sands and crystal-clear waters, Turks and Caicos is a paradise for beach lovers and ocean adventurers. The islands are home to the third-largest coral reef system in the world, offering some of the best diving and snorkeling in the Caribbean.
- South Caicos is renowned for its dramatic reef wall, considered the top diving spot in the region.
- For those who prefer to stay closer to shore, the shallow reefs offer incredible snorkeling with visibility up to 200 feet and a vibrant array of marine life just beneath the surface.
