Correction: Cockburn Town on Grand Turk is the capital. Providenciales is the largest city. My apologies.

[@sorahajolly7354]

🚕 are not that expensive its only like 2$ per person

[@Geography_thingys]

We all know that bro

[@davidpollack2395]

You forgot to mention the weekly food truck festival near Turtle Cove every Thursday. Great food, prices, and music.

[@woltersworld]

Good call! Thanks for the reminder!

[@mancusojim89]

Fish Fry !! - hopefully it comes back very soon.

[@paulfreet]

Love Turks and Caicos! A few additional tips: 1. Beer is super expensive. A case of Corona might cost $70 at the store. The local beer, Turks Head, is terrific and available everywhere. Plenty of options, including an IPA, and the price is right. A fun event is to go visit theTurks Head brewery in Providenciales. Love seeing the canning line 2. Liquor is also expensive, other than the local rum. Make sure to hit the duty free store at the airport on the way down. 3. If you want to go on a snorkeling tour, book thru the hotel concierge and not the guys on the beach. 4. There is no nightlife. Which I love about the Islands. Instead, sit on the beach with the one you love and watch the most gorgeous sunsets you will see in your entire life.

[@sandreagardiner6046]

Shit $70 where did you go? I pay $20 for a case of beer. That's maybe the tourist price 😂😂

[@desireefranco3671]

Everyone speaking of no night life were simply not interested. On my first trip there and we bumped into so much night life by recommendations from tour guides. Shisha lounge, 809 terrace, blu bar and so many more but we only went to these 3. On the same corner of 809 there were multiple places with so much music. 809 and shisha were such a good time. Felt like I was back home in NYC but it was nice open air places. We left at 1AM but the places probably close at 2 or 3. Which is more then enough considering how early we all get up in TCI the beaches can be exhausting no need to be out until 6am. Is it a party island, no. But it is a place where lively, local CARIBBEAN ppl live. Silly to think their wouldn’t be somewhere to drink, dance and smoke hookah when the sun goes down.

[@mr.dakamd5444]

How about the ganja

[@brianbolton8199]

The Caymans are just as beautiful. The laws are not cruel, crime less.

[@EvanEraTV]

Great video! A couple other things to mention, the Beaches resort there on Grace bay has a really awesome water park with big waterslides etc for the kids that you can get a day-pass for if you’re not staying at the resort. Also the Fish Fry on Thursday nights is an epic party that the entire island comes out for.. not to be missed

[@ravipatel1786]

hello! We are going there this Monday, is the fish fry going to happen on Thursday?!

[@jessicarodriguez4170]

What an awesome video for sure. I have been all over the carribian , PR, Dom, etc but I have never visited the Turks. I love crystal clear turquoise water. Thanks for sharing this beautiful place.

I lived in Turks for 12 years working front desk/concierge and I can agree with this video. I would discourage drinking the water however, its great to prepare meals however please drink bottled water.

im going back in October for Halloween I was never a beach person until I went on those beaches out there one thing I love the most is the water and I love playing volleyball on the beach getting covered in the sand then going in the water and rinsing it off..I forgot about those really clear fish when you go in the ocean they tend swim along the shore line but if you stay really still they will nibble on your fingers first time I went there I wasn't aware they were there I felt something nibble on my fingers I looked close and I saw them, when its really sunny out you can barely see them..

[@kanundrum]

Great video! Ty for the information.

[@chrisgeorge2717]

We rented a house out on Long Bay Rd.... it was amazing. Very convenient to get anywhere we needed. The supermarkets are rather expensive as noted, but it was nice to cook and eat on our deck overlooking the ocean. I didn't find the restaurants to be that expensive honestly. When it comes to Turks Head beer, buy it at the brewery!! It's cheaper there, and you can take a fun little tour. Thanks for the video, we loved it there and hope to go back soon.

[@johncgw4011]

how was the all inclusive resort?

[@darlenemarshall7475]

@@RyanPs3gamer123 We had a very nice time. There are a number of resorts on the beach, but the Club Med feels like a little village with the best spot of beach on the strip. We were happy with the food and service. The evening entertainment was very lively. Its close enough to nearby shopping to walk the beach and get to some nice stores and restaurants. We went scuba diving with the resort dive crew, it was very nice. Well recommended.

Excellent video. Very informative. I go to resorts but when there, I like doing tours to see historical places and take in the culture. I may go to the beach once or twice. So I could only go here for a day or two just to see what the place looks like. It is probably nice for people who are into water sports and diving.

You can’t get them through customs anyways

Pack some pool noodle floats and snorkel gear. Noodles are cheap and you can leave them if you don’t want to pack them up. I noticed a lot of the resorts don’t have any floats to take in the water like some other beach places I’ve been. You can snorkel off the beach on your own in some places

[@jim_dubhglas]

Great insight Wolter! Absolutely beautiful place, especially Grace Bay area on Providenciales. Unfortunately, great numbers of Haitians land on the shores of Turks and Caicos and Provo regularly, in fact, nearly 1,000 in the first 4 months of 2021. Crime has been ramping up for years. Mainly burglaries and theft, but threats and robbery by machete and gun crimes are way up. I've been twice, loved it, but I did felt anxiety, especially if the sun was setting. It is definitely not getting any better there. Grace Bay is one of the safest areas, being a tourism destination and somewhat protected, but definitely not immune to crime... like so much of this planet. Happy travels!

[@arellysritchieauthor]

yeah, us Caribbean islands our drivers are not biking friendly, even in Dutch Antilles Curaçao where I am from people rarely use bikes outside their yards or resorts, because biking is dangerous, only Dutch people dare to use bikes on the islands and even they who are used to riding bikes in their country are hesitant to do it on the islands, so do be careful if you still decide to ride bikes on Caribbean islands busy streets.
