Turks and Caicos is my favorite Caribbean destination ! There is a direct flight from Charlotte that only takes a few hours , meaning you can be through customs and on the beach by the early afternoon . We have stayed at resorts and condos , and for my 40th birthday we rented a house for our extended family . With turquoise waters and pink sands like no other , we have had a ball renting sailboats and exploring the island . One year we sailed my mom to lunch on a Hobie Cat , and she thought it was the adventure of her life . Check out our Insiders ’ Guide for special places to eat , stay , shop and play .
Since Turks and Caicos has the thirdlargest barrier reef in the world , the waters of Grace Bay are calm and inviting . The reef also provides the perfect breeding ground for tropical fish , sea turtles , plant life and much more . The gardens and flowers in T and C are abundant . I ’ ve never seen so many kinds of palm trees and colors of bougainvillea . It grows like a weed and blooms profusely year-round . I could go on for days about T and C
