latebuyer Posted September 30, 2022 #1 Share Posted September 30, 2022 How nice is grand turk to just walk around? I’m not a real beach person. Interested in whether there is value going to this port. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare crewsweeper Posted October 3, 2022 #2 Share Posted October 3, 2022 (edited) You'll need a taxi to get to Cockburn town. Once there it's really only a small area along Front/Duke Street, that has any shops or restaurants and the National Museum and the historic HMS Prison. If you don't stop in any store it's a 5 minute walk to cover the area. Edited October 3, 2022 by crewsweeper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kathy49 Posted October 8, 2022 #3 Share Posted October 8, 2022 in general Turks is all about pristine expanses of white sand beaches. Not much else other than luxury villas and hotels etc. especially around/in Grace Bay. They are having some gang related crime reports targeting tourists and if I were to dock here these days and wanted to see the island I would arrange a cruise excursion or private driver. It is a beautiful island but not really a "walking" kind of place except along the beach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grace Bay is on Provo, a completely different island than Grant Turk, where the ships stop. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for the correction. Have only flown in and stayed on Grace Bay....and my info is clearly wrong above. Cannot remove posts on here...tried. Looks like a beach day for most on Grand Turk.

mmbrad02 Posted October 11, 2022 #6 Share Posted October 11, 2022 If one rented a golf cart to ride around on, is stopping on Cockburn town safe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GT is one of the safest islands around. But nevertheless I wouldn't leave a bunch of stuff in a golfcart while stopping. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
