About Turks and Caicos Islands

The Turks and Caicos Islands, a British Overseas Territory, is an archipelago of 40 low-lying coral islands in the Atlantic Ocean, southeast of the Bahamas. Known for their stunning white-sand beaches, crystal-clear turquoise waters, and vibrant coral reefs, the islands are a premier destination for diving, snorkeling, and eco-tourism. The capital, Cockburn Town, is located on Grand Turk, one of the larger islands, and is home to historic colonial architecture and the Turks and Caicos National Museum. The economy is largely driven by tourism, offshore financial services, and fishing. With a tropical climate, rich marine biodiversity, and a relaxed island atmosphere, the Turks and Caicos Islands offer a tranquil paradise for visitors and a unique cultural blend influenced by African, European, and Caribbean heritage.
