TRAVEL
CRUISE&TOURSALE • JANUARY 19 - FEBRUARY 2, 2019 ESCAPE TO THE TURKS & CAICOS ISLANDS
TM
The 40 islands that make up the Turks and Caicos Islands, situated just 575 miles southeast of Miami, remain relatively undiscovered. Only eight of
these lesser-visited Caribbean islands are actually inhabited, and visitors can still find miles of pristine white sand beaches without footprints. So, a visit to these isles is truly a relaxing, enjoyable experience.
Among their many natural assets, the Turks and Caicos Islands have the third largest coral reef system in the world. Scuba diving and snorkeling are, of course, activities shared by many. In fact, scuba diving in the crystalline waters surrounding the islands ranks among the best in the Caribbean. The waters are warm all year, averaging 76 degrees to 78 degrees. Local operators offer dive charters as well as sailing and fishing charters.
Windsurfing and parasailing are other popular water activities. On land, enjoy golfing, horseback riding and bicycling. Sightseeing tours can be arranged before you go to any of the Turks and Caicos Islands, or arrangements can be made through your hotel. Snorkeling, deep-sea diving and fishing excursions are available, as well as escorted tours of the island. If you’re feeling adventurous, you can use the bicycles that many
of the hotels offer their guests free of charge, or rent a scooter or car and venture to the less populated neighboring islands.
Soft, sandy beaches and breathtaking turquoise waters are assets of all the islands, while the landscapes are a series of contrasts; from the dry, arid bush and scrub on the flat, coral islands of Grand Turk, Salt Cay, South Caicos, and Providencials to the greener, foliage-rich landscapes of Middle Caicos, North Caicos, Parrot Cay and Pine Cay.
Providenciales is the hub of tourist development
and activity, with hotels and condo resorts, restaurants and water sports. In Grand Turk, one of the main attractions is the Turks & Caicos National Museum. The museum tells the history of these islands that have all, at one time or another, been claimed by the French, Spanish and British – as well as pirates – before North Americans discovered them.
You too can discover these beautiful islands. For more information, contact your travel agent at AAA Schuylkill County.
