North Caicos is such a beautiful island in the Turks and Caicos Islands chain. It is the second-largest island in the TCI chain and is located between Providenciales and Middle Caicos. Below is a list of some of the things that I think that you should expect to see if you decide to stay in North Caicos:  To start my list it would be a disservice if I don't start with its warm friendly people.  North Caicos also have  good island authentic food . If you want to eat like the locals then North Caicos is the place to be.  NC has very small communities, comprising the communities of Kew, sandy point, Whitby, and Bottle Creek.  Beautiful beaches within the community of Sandy point and Whitby. Hollywood beach located in Whitby is one of my favorite relaxing spots.  Great soil. The island is ideal for large-scale farming. There are various farms on the islands including the government farm.

South Caicos is one of the inhabited islands in the Turks and Caicos Island chain. The BIG South as the island is called, is known for its fishing both bonefishing and deep-sea fishing. Also, it is a great scuba diving destination. There is a school for marine studies and diving within the island that has been successful. For more information check out their website https://fieldstudies.org/centers/tci/.  I had the privilege of spending two days in South Caicos recently. Just taking time out, to visit and experience the local lifestyle and see what the island has to offer. My adventures I have always heard about the salt ponds of the islands. I took the time to walk the ponds, and view the boiling hole. Hearing about the boiling hole and seeing it firsthand is a different experience. I was elated to see firsthand a part of history. Did you know that the boiling hole is a naturally formed underwater passage that connects the pond to the ocean? This formation was taken advantage...

Every year a family vacation is planned to enjoy one of our beautiful islands. This year's choice was Grand Turk and Salt Cay. Although we reside on the main island called Providenciales, we look forward to our getaway time to explore the historical sites and adventures of the other islands. A wonderful time was had with our group of 12. When visiting Grand Turk you should add these activities to your to-do list.  - Osprey Beach Hotel - this hotel is located on the beach, and within walking distance to the famous Front Stree of Grand Turk. There were ample rooms to accommodate the large group and offered a relaxing atmosphere.

The Lighthouse was built in 1852 and is one of the most famous landmarks on the island.  Although not currently in operation, it was used in...
