Why Go?
The Turks and where? That's the reaction most people have when you mention these tropical
isles. Like all great Shangri- Las, this one is hidden just under the radar. Be glad that it is, as
this tropical dream is the deserted Caribbean destination you've been looking for. And the
best part - it's only 90 minutes by plane from Miami.
So why would you want to go there? How about white-sand beaches, clear blue water and
a climate that defines divine. Secluded bays and islands where you'll see more wild donkeys
than other travelers. Historic towns and villages where life creeps along at a sedate pace.
Divers and beach aficionados will rejoice: clear warm waters teem with marine life, yet
are devoid of crashing waves. Islands like Grand Turk - set in a time long since past, with
its dilapidated buildings, salt ponds and narrow lanes - contrast with the ever expanding
Providenciales. While development is on the rise, all one has to do is catch a boat to the next
island over and the solace of solitude returns.
