Grand Turk from an eyes view!
Spend your day on Grand Turk, a small tropical island. Get to know the locals, a people of much substance and have fun in a British Overseas Territory.
With a great selection of water sports and interesting historical sights, local cuisine, and best of all, exquisite beaches. Explore the island at your own pace, take in the historical ambiance. Grand Turk offers consistently-excellent vacation weather after all, we are typically sheltered from the trade winds and that allows for perfect beach holiday conditions.
There are many activities and shore excursions, including island tours, snorkeling cruises, 4x4 expeditions just to mention a few and many more. For those looking to experience the deep blue ocean, a fishing trip or whale watching adventure is a great excursion.
Keeping with the laid-back Caribbean atmosphere of the island, there are no large hotels or all-inclusive resorts. However, Grand Turk offers quite a few inns and hotels to choose from. Rooms and prices vary from budget to luxury, renovated mansions. Many lodgings offer a wide range of amenities and services, including the complimentary use of bicycles and water sport equipment such as kayaks and stand up paddle boards.
Since 1766, Grand Turk has been the capital of the Turks and Caicos Islands. Originally founded by Bermudian salt collectors in 1681, the island still retains a colonial heritage through its colonial buildings and old salt Salinas. Donkeys and horses, once the only means of transportation, now roam freely in the wild, so look out for them.
Before you leave my Grand Turk, have local beer and enjoy the beautiful sunset, and I will see you when you get back.

Grand Turk Too
We made a brief stop at Grand Turk on a Caribbean cruise. It was fun although we did not have time to do much exploring. Just a little time to stretch our land legs. Bit a cold libation under under the palms is good any time.

More information about the video content bellow:
1. The Turks and Caicos Islands (also known as TCI) are two groups of tropical islands in the Atlantic Ocean located southeast of the Bahamas, north of Haiti and east of Cuba about 600 miles from Miami. As a British Overseas Territory, Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom is the chief of state of the Turks and Caicos Islands.
2. The Turks and Caicos became a British overseas territory in 1973, but the islands have a complicated history with control passing from Spain, to France, to Great Britain during the 16th, 17th, and 18th centuries. In 1799, both the Turks and the Caicos island groups were annexed by Britain as part of the Bahamas. For many years the islands were governed indirectly through Bermuda, the Bahamas, and Jamaica. When the Bahamas gained independence in 1973, the Turks and Caicos Islands received their own governor and have remained a separate autonomous British Overseas Territory ever since.
3. There are two stories as to how the islands got their name. Many believe that the Turks in Turks and Caicos is derived from the indigenous Turk’s Head “fez” cactus, a small stubby cactus capped with a spiny structure resembling a Turkish Fez hat, and the Lucayan term caya hico, meaning ‘string of islands.’ In the other version, Islamic corsairs or ship raiders in the Mediterranean were often referred to as “Turks”, and the term became a synonym with pirate. Early map makers combined this with a version of the Lucayan word cayo hico meaning ‘string of islands.’ In other words, they were warning that the Turks and Caicos were islands with pirates, which they were for several decades around the turn of the 18th century.
4. Although the islands are surrounded by ocean water, there are no lakes or rivers in the Turks and Caicos. Islanders depend on rainfall to collect fresh water.
5. In 1917, Canadian Prime Minister Robert Borden suggested that the Turks and Caicos join Canada, but this suggestion was rejected by British Prime Minister David Lloyd George. Since 1917, the Turks and Caicos Islands have considered joining Canada on three additional occasions, in 1974, 2004, and as recently as 2014.
6. Cockburn Town is the capital city of the Turks and Caicos Islands. Historic 18th and 19th century Bermudian architecture line Duke and Front Streets in the town.
7. Though the islands of Turks and Caicos are small and can barely be seen on a map, the coastlines are known to span up to 400 kilometres! That’s 400 kilometres of white sandy beaches and azure waters! With a warm climate, lying around the beach all day does sound like the most ideal vacation. Water temperatures are said to be as warm as a bathtub!

Scroll to 0:60 to see the ocean floor. We were at about 75 ft until it suddenly drops thousands of feet into the abyss. Tried to capture it best I can. Also spotted a reef shark hanging near the wall!
