Cheshire Hall Plantation

During the days of the American Revolution , the Turks and Caicos were still part of the Bahamas which is where colonials loyal to the King of England fled . The loyalists fled with their slaves and Cheshire Hall became one of the most prominent plantations with hundreds of slaves . Today the Hall is recognized as one of the region ’ s most important historical sites .

Whale Watching - Salt Cay

Between the months of January and early April , Humpback Whales are often seen around the Turks and Caicos Islands . Perhaps the best vantage point from which to see them is Salt Cay , sometimes referred to as Whale Headquarters . Here Captain Ollie who was born and raised on the cay , is an expert at sighting these magnificent beasts of the sea and with his guidance , many visitors are able to witness the Whale ’ s magnificence for themselves .
