out of nowhere, leading into the earth. Take it down through the cave and emerge on a se-
cluded cliff-lined beach. Looking seaward you'll be entertained by the waves crashing into
the offshore rocks in spectacular fashion.
A great way to get a feel for the island is to go for a walk on the
Crossing Place Trail
.
Hugging the northern edge of Middle Caicos and crossing into North Caicos, this easy-to-
follow and straightforward track supports good ocean views and birdwatching opportunit-
ies. It's easily picked up from Mudjin Harbor or from other points along the main road -
keep an eye open for the signs.
SLEEPING
At present there are only a couple of sleeping options on Middle Caicos. The emphasis is
on longer-term stays where self-catering is a must.

; Bambarra; per week $2000; ) OK so its
interior design won't win any prizes, but this villa is magnificently located on a pristine
section of Bambarra Beach, just a few yards from the sea. The house itself has three bed-
rooms and is set up to sleep four comfortably. It has all the modern conveniences and is
perfectly arranged for a week of relaxation. There are bikes and sea kayaks to keep you
busy, and great snorkeling, right out front, if the mood strikes. Nice touches such as an out-
door shower, hammocks and a barbecue add up to make this great for a family holiday.
Blue Horizon Resort
RESORT $$$
( 946-6141;

; Mudjin Harbor; cabins from $230; ) This beautiful
property at Mudjin Harbor boasts its own 2200ft stretch of private beach and a wonderful
setting amid the foliage. The five cabins are spread out among the greenery, all with prime
ocean views. The decor is nothing special, but the views and the seclusion more than make
up for the slightly dated sense of style. The units all have kitchens and you can provide a
shopping list so the cupboards are full for you when you arrive.
BEST OF THE REST
If you really want an adventure and want to escape from any sort of tourist in-
frastructure, then all you have to do is head to either South or East Caicos.
