Grand Turk. Hot and expensive paradise 4. Coral reef
In case if you don’t care about heat and have enough time, there is an opportunity to drive to airport to view the space capsule, which is setted up by the entrance, in which Lt. Col. John Glenn splashed down in the Atlantic close to the Turks and Caicos Islands. Continue on to the capital city of Cockburn town with its quaint and charismatic “Front Street” lined with turn of the century Bermudian-style architecture. Further you’ll see the ruins of the old salinas and the windmills that were used to to funnel natural sea water from one salina to another. Travel off the beaten path, where tour buses dare not venture, to catch a glimpse of endangered pink flamingos. Pass the St. Thomas Anglican Church, the first church built on Grand Turk by Bermudian settlers, on your way to the southeastern side of the island. Enjoy grand vistas of Gibb’s Cay and many uninhabited islands in the Atlantic Ocean from atop Gun Hill. I heard a lot of delight comments about all facts placed above.
Main point of interest of Grand Turk is third in the world by size coral reef with total length about 7 000 feet, which attracts divers from all over the world. Here, in approximately 10-15 feet of water, easy to encounter an abundance of tropical fish and unimaginable forest of corals, as well as turtles and stingrays. Also possible to find a place, where wild Atlantic Stingrays will let you stroke their soft underbellies and play with them with their own playground!
Also you shouldn’t forget about bysicle–riding, horseback riding and kayaking.
