Beaches Turks & Caicos Resort and Spa
Beaches Turks & Caicos is a multi-faceted fantasy world, where pastel pink bungalows are nestled in tropical gardens resplendent with graceful palms. Here, there are almost enough pools for each day of the week, and the last day is reserved for the largest pool of all, the clear turquoise sea bordered by a 12-mile stretch of beach.

Once a part of The Bahamas, the Turks and Caicos Islands are a British Colony with superb diving, sports and Club Med offerings. The capital is Cockburn (pronounced Co'burn) Town and the population is around 14,000. These low-lying mostly undeveloped island and cays have some of the finest beaches in the world. Dolphins leap offshore. Whales playing in the open sea are as popular an attraction as in the Hawaiian Islands.

Lonely Planet - Turks & Caicos Islands
At first glance these oddly named and misshapen islands may not be the prettiest in the Caribbean, covered as they are with cactus and thorny acacia trees. They are, however, fringed with exquisite beaches and several hundred miles of coral reef that keeps the Turks & Caicos on the world's top 10 dive list.
