GRAND TURK TIPS:

ALL BEACHES ARE FREE ON GRAND TURK

1- If you plan to use the beach just off the ship (in front of Margaritaville)  Bring water shoes.    Grand turk is a SHELF and year ago most of the sand just in the water was washed out so it is a lot of sharp and rocky coral foundation.      OR you can walk up the beach past the umbrellas and Jack's shack where the sand and Beach is clean and sand in the water. 

 

2- If you want a good excursion cheap..  walk just outside the Port gate.    ISLAND TOURS (run by locals) has Tram car for like $25 that circles the island.   $10 each for groups 10 or more.   The moped, golf cart rentals are also outside.       

 

3- You can rent a golfcart outside the gate and drive up the coast to SUPER clean and beautiful beaches to use.     

 

4- stop at the Grand Turk museum.  It is a small house you walkthru for like $5 pp   Packed with history on the SALT INDUSTRY and the space capsule landing.     Then walk across the street to the beach.   There are a couple food trucks and stands right there as well. 

 

5- FLAMINGOS are nesting there until about APRIL-JUNE in the salt flats in center of the island. at peak time it is a SEA of PINK.   Flamingos are naturally GRAY and only turn pink from feeding on Brine shrimp in the salt flats
