Start the day with a breakfast of Grand Marnier croissant
French toast, Belgian waffles, or tropical pancakes. We enjoyed
an excellent lunch here and sampled the conch fritters, made
from the Conch Farm's own product, fish and chips and jerk
chicken sandwich. Friday through Monday you can also enjoy
dinner at this excellent restaurant.
Romantic Activities
With the number of tourists relatively low, you'll find that the
number of attractions are equally sparse. Don't expect the
shopping of St. Thomas or the reggae clubs of Jamaica. For
most couples, the real attraction is being able to do nothing at
all. Days are spent on the beach or in the water that's so clear
it's often cited as the world's top scuba destination.
Island Sights & Museums
One unique attraction is the
Conch Farm,
649-945-5942,
the only farm in the world that raises Queen conch, the shell-
fish that's become a favorite meal throughout much of the Ca-
ribbean. On a guided tour, you'll see conch in various stages,
from the larvae in the hatchery, to juveniles about four
millimeters in length, to full grown. In Provo, the product of
this unique farm is served at the Anacaona Restaurant and the
Tiki Hut.
History buffs will find reason enough to take a day-trip to
Grand Turk to visit the
Turks and Caicos National Mu-
seum,
649-946-2160, one of the most fascinating museums in
the entire Caribbean. The main exhibit features the Molasses
Reef shipwreck, which occurred in the Turks and Caicos nearly
500 years ago. The Spanish caravel hit the reef and quickly
sank in only 20 feet of water, where it remained until the 1970s.
