    Correction: Cockburn Town on Grand Turk is the capital. Providenciales is the largest city. My apologies.

    Love Turks and Caicos! A few additional tips:
    1. Beer is super expensive. A case of Corona might cost $70 at the store. The local beer, Turks Head, is terrific and available everywhere. Plenty of options, including an IPA, and the price is right. A fun event is to go visit theTurks Head brewery in Providenciales. Love seeing the canning line
    2. Liquor is also expensive, other than the local rum. Make sure to hit the duty free store at the airport on the way down.
    3. If you want to go on a snorkeling tour, book thru the hotel concierge and not the guys on the beach.
    4. There is no nightlife. Which I love about the Islands. Instead, sit on the beach with the one you love and watch the most gorgeous sunsets you will see in your entire life.

    Everyone speaking of no night life were simply not interested. On my first trip there and we bumped into so much night life by recommendations from tour guides. Shisha lounge, 809 terrace, blu bar and so many more but we only went to these 3. On the same corner of 809 there were multiple places with so much music. 809 and shisha were such a good time. Felt like I was back home in NYC but it was nice open air places. We left at 1AM but the places probably close at 2 or 3. Which is more then enough considering how early we all get up in TCI the beaches can be exhausting no need to be out until 6am. Is it a party island, no. But it is a place where lively, local CARIBBEAN ppl live. Silly to think their wouldn’t be somewhere to drink, dance and smoke hookah when the sun goes down.

A couple other things to mention, the Beaches resort there on Grace bay has a really awesome water park with big waterslides etc for the kids that you can get a day-pass for if you’re not staying at the resort. Also the Fish Fry on Thursday nights is an epic party that the entire island comes out for.. not to be missed

    im going back in October for Halloween I was never a beach person until I went on those beaches out there one thing I love the most is the water and I love playing volleyball on the beach getting covered in the sand then going in the water and rinsing it off..I forgot about those really clear fish when you go in the ocean they tend swim along the shore line but if you stay really still they will nibble on your fingers first time I went there I wasn't aware they were there I felt something nibble on my fingers I looked close and I saw them, when its really sunny out you can barely see them..

    We rented a house out on Long Bay Rd.... it was amazing. Very convenient to get anywhere we needed. The supermarkets are rather expensive as noted, but it was nice to cook and eat on our deck overlooking the ocean. I didn't find the restaurants to be that expensive honestly. When it comes to Turks Head beer, buy it at the brewery!! It's cheaper there, and you can take a fun little tour. Thanks for the video, we loved it there and hope to go back soon.

So I could only go here for a day or two just to see what the place looks like. It is probably nice for people who are into water sports and diving.

We were happy with the food and service. The evening entertainment was very lively. Its close enough to nearby shopping to walk the beach and get to some nice stores and restaurants. We went scuba diving with the resort dive crew, it was very nice. Well recommended.

    Pack some pool noodle floats and snorkel gear. Noodles are cheap and you can leave them if you don’t want to pack them up. I noticed a lot of the resorts don’t have any floats to take in the water like some other beach places I’ve been. You can snorkel off the beach on your own in some places

    Does anyone know if we can get rapid tests done before this trip. New requirements are that you must be tested within three days. That’s pushing it for PCR results to come back. Can you do the rapid tests?

    Apart from the beautiful beaches I found the island very ordinary

      I felt like there wasn’t any culture but that’s fine with me. I’m there for the beach

      @@ELIRAXPRT that's exactly it! Just didn't get what all the fuss was about as there wasn't even any shopping and I'm not the type to sit in a resort 24/7 but hey tons of water and other sports activities! Also didn't like the fact that no fruits grow there felt so artificial. 🤷

    Are there a lot of the lizards on the beach?! I’m super scared of them.
