Overview

Grand Turk is the capital island of the Turks and Caicos Islands, offering world-class scuba diving along one of the most lush wall systems on Earth with visibility exceeding 100 feet. Beyond diving, the island features secluded white-sand beaches like Governor's Beach, a charming colonial capital in Cockburn Town, and the dramatic Lighthouse—once the only guide for mariners avoiding treacherous reefs.
