Map of Turks and Caicos, Caribbean Islands

Details

The Turks and Caicos includes 45 islands and cays. It's believed that Columbus' first landfall in the New World was on Grand Turk island.

These islands, once annexed by both the Bahamas and Jamaica, have long been associated with the UK, and today are still a British overseas territory.

This group of flat islands (southeast of the Bahamas) is favored by scuba divers and fisherman, and renown for turquoise waters and endless white-sand beaches.

Tourism is becoming the major business here, but these islands are also a recognized offshore tax haven for worldwide investors. The seven mile Grace Bay Beach on the Island of Providenciales is recognized by travel experts as one of the best beaches in the world.

All inclusive resorts, Bonefishing, snorkeling and scuba diving in pristine reef systems, and private Turks and Caicos villa rentals are major draws of this British West Indies group.
