As a native of the islands, I have always appreciated the saying “there is no place like home”. Home in the Turks and Caicos Islands is not always the best, we have our country issues like any other place, but I have learned to appreciate the things that make us a unique island in our own right. Sometimes, I have to give myself a rain check and pretend to be a tourist so that I could enjoy the island for what it is and forget about the minor things that irritate me from day to day. Sometimes living on a small island can have its disadvantages, but I have learned to live life from a positive approach.
The spectacular Turks and Caicos Islands are located 575 miles (or 75 minutes) from the southeast of Miami. These Islands stretch over 193 square miles of the Atlantic Ocean, and have the third largest coral reef and some of the best beaches in the world. These attributes make the Turks and Caicos Islands a premier family beach vacation spot and a sought after snorkeling and diving destination. The Turks and Caicos are an ideal place for not only spending holidays with the family but also romance and ecotourism. In fact, spendin
g time in the Turks and Caicos is so delightful that, nearly 60% visitors pay repeat visits and come back for more family beach vacations.
