The Turks & Caicos Islands - Paradise Found.

The Turks and Caicos Islands are one of the Caribbean's secret hideaways. More than 40 islands and cays are locked inside the world's most spectacular continuous coral reefs. Islands far from the neon and noise of cities; where life is simple, warm and welcoming, where there's no need to lock your doors. Feel like you've never felt before! Sunning, swimming, beachcombing, sailing, diving, fishing, or searching for sunken treasures off our 230 miles of gold and white sand beaches.

Turks and Caicos Islands lie southeast of Nassau, halfway between Miami and Puerto Rico, and are separated from the Bahamas, our nearest neighbors, by a 30 mile wide ocean passage. The two groups of islands, the Turks Islands and Caicos Islands, are 200 square miles. The Caicos group consists of six principle islands: Providenciales, North Caicos, South Caicos, Middle Caicos, East Caicos and West Caicos, and numerous small cays, some of which, like Pine Cay and Parrot Cay, are inhabited. The Turks Islands are smaller and are separated from the Caicos Islands by the 22 mile wide deep-water channel (the Turks Island Passage) and consist of two main islands, Grand Turk and Salt Cay, and a number of small uninhabited cays.
