Turks and Caicos Islands / Special Interests / Special Interests

By Jane Anderson

The two groups of islands and cays that make up the Turks & Caicos range from undeveloped cays like Salt Cay where you can find out how the old salt industry operated to highly sophisticated private island resorts like Parrot Cay where the emphasis is on five-star pampering. Most visitors come to the Turks & Caicos for the white sand beaches, the watersports, scuba diving and spas. There are nature tours to bat caves and to see the iguanas as well as the world’s only commercial conch farm.
