General presentation
Turks and Caicos Islands
Sand banks, reefs and ancient salt sites extend over a low archipelago with turquoise waters.
To understand what Turks and Caicos Islands is, you have to look at Grace Bay, Chalk Sound and Lighthouse Grand Turk. These places give us a view of a territory marked by island landscapes, coastline, natural spaces and heritage and allow us to move from emblematic sites to more intimate stages.
See all
For a stay of 2 to 6 days, a quiet rhythm works well. Also to be anticipated: conditions to be checked according to the season. A car is usually the easiest way to connect the different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be verified step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Nature and landscape
Grace Bay
Grace Bay runs a clear beach on Providenciales bordered by a protected reef, with generally calm and bright water. The hotels are numerous, but the landscape remains legible from the sand: open lagoon, offshore passages, easy bathing areas. Outings at sea are more likely to respect the areas of the marine park.
Place indismissible
Chalk Sound
Chalk Sound forms a very shallow lagoon southwest of Providenciales, dotted with small limestone islands laid on milky blue water. The site looks as much as it is practiced: kayaking, road views and changing light reveal its colours, while protection of the environment limits possible uses.
Lighthouse
Grand Turk Lighthouse
The Grand Turk lighthouse stands at the northern end of the island, near low cliffs beaten by the wind. Around it, the coastal trails open views of the Atlantic, the reefs and sometimes the whales in season; the place also tells of the difficult navigation around the Turks and Caicos.
