Grand Turk 2018
Governors Beach Visit - Dec 2018
Grand Turk: Golf Cart Rental (Turks & Caicos)
Renting a golf cart is a great way to explore the island of Grand Turk. Some of the more popular destinations outside of the cruise center are the Grand Turk Lighthouse and Governor’s Beach. We visited both when we rented a golf cart during our last visit.
Prior to our cruise, we reserved a golf cart with a vendor operating inside the cruise center. The golf cart pick-up was located past the shops, at the covered walkway that leads to the cruise center’s main exit. Our reservation gave us priority over passengers who did not have a reservation. With a limited number of golf carts available during our visit, those without a reservation had a VERY long wait.
We rented the golf cart from Wet Money Tours ( The rental fee was $100 for the day and we were required to refill the fuel tank to the same level as when we picked it up. Be sure to bring a copy of your email as proof of your reservation confirmation.

Mega One Triton - Shipwreck in Grand Turk
There is a large grounded ship at Governor’s Beach on Grand Turk Island. Originally, the Mega One Triton was an oil rig service vessel.
Later, it was decommissioned as an oil rig service vessel and began a new life as a cargo ship. The Mega One Triton ran a cargo route between the Dominican Republic and Grand Turk.
The Mega One Triton was washed ashore during Hurricane Sandy in 2012. There have been several attempts to remove the vessel from the beach, but due to its size and lack of funding the efforts have continued to be unsuccessful.

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!

Grand Turk, Turks & Caicos
Video approaching the cruise port at the tropical Island paradise of Grand Turk in the Turks and Caicos Islands. Grand Turk has a population of 3,700, most living in Cockburn Town. Like most eastern Caribbean islands, Grand Turk lays claim to the first landfall of Christopher Columbus.
The island is excellent for SCUBA diving and snorkeling. It is also home to a Margaritaville restaurant, a chain founded by Jimmy Buffett.

Grand Turk Free Beach!
Grand Turk - Free Beach! The Carnival Breeze visits the port of Grand Turk where they sell drinks by the yard...and too many yards can get you left behind! That’s what they call getting “yarded”. The free beach is amazing!
The Vacation Impossible team relaxes for the whole day only spending $5 each to rent floaties. Many people think you need a formal excursion to have fun in Grand Turk so sometimes it seems like this free beach is the best kept secret on the island. There might be lots of things to do but for us this is our favourite. As cruise ports go this one is easy, light, and fun.
