Parrot Cay (Caicos Cays): Another gorgeous private island, this one with a secluded beach graced by beach bums of the celebrity variety.
Sandy Point (North Caicos): Up until now, only boaters and those in the know found their way to this crescent of perfect beach, within sight of the Parrot Cay Resort. Ground was broken in 2006 for construction of the Royal Reef Resort, a luxury hotel and condos fronting the beach.
Whitby beaches (North Caicos): The coves of Three Mary Cays are prime snorkeling spots. Step into the shallows of the palm-fringed Pelican Point beach (in front of Pelican Beach Hotel) and find conch shells of every size. Lovely Horsestable Beach has enjoyed its North Caicos seclusion for years (it's also a prime bird-watching spot); now it's the future home of the $70-million St. Charles condominium resort.
Mudjin Harbor (Middle Caicos): This beach is as stunning seen from the green limestone cliffs towering above as it is in an up-close exploration of the wind-swept coves below.
Bambarra Beach (Middle Caicos): Casuarina trees fringe this picturesque white-sand beach. Its calm, shallow aquamarine waters are the site of the festive Valentine's Day model sailboat races, and the Middle Caicos Day beach party is held here in August.
Governor's Beach (Grand Turk): Grand Turk's most celebrated beach has great snorkeling and is a popular picnic spot under shady pines. It's in the Columbus Landfall National Park -- more about Columbus's "landfall" later -- and within sightlines of the new Grand Turk Cruise Center, which in 2006 began welcoming 2,000-passenger ships 2 days a week.
Pillory Beach (Grand Turk): The Bohio Dive Resort is set on this handsome stretch of Grand Turk beach.
The beaches of Salt Cay: This tiny island has some of the best snorkeling beaches in the Caribbean. The calmest waters are usually found on North Beach and Point Pleasant

If you are looking for a laid back, quiet
beach with beautiful beaches this used to be the place. With all of the construction now
going on the quiet is no longer available.
The beaches are beautiful and the water is
clear and a multitude of mixed blue and emerald green. For divers it is not what it used to be but what is ? The food in general is very pricey but tastes good. the same as any other resort area. The people are very friendly and work extremely hard to attempt to enhance your stay. Most of the service people work 2 full time jobs. The roads system is horrible, and the majority of the car rental establishments are very overpriced and the cars are small. The weather is fabulous and some of the hotels are terrific. There is no night life for adults unless drinking is what your vacation is about.
If you want a vacation where you and your partner can reconnect, walk on a powder like beach, submerge yourself in a crystal clear ocean and enjoy the darkness of night then the turks may be perfect for you.
