Just Offshore At The Turks & Caicos Islands
Filed Under Travel & Photos | Leave a Comment
Long undiscovered by most of the world, this island nation is becoming an increasingly popular travel destination. It’s comprised of several islands all reasonably close together – none being more than a three hour boat ride from another, and is situated south of the Bahamas and north of Puerto Rico.
Known for having some of the most brilliant white sand beaches and enticing clear, turquoise blue waters, most of the islands aside from Providenciales and Grand Turk remain relatively undiscovered.
It’s the barrier reef protecting Provo, and most of the Caicos Islands, that provides tranquil waters perfect for diving and snorkeling right offshore.
In fact some of the best reefs are reached by a short walk out from the beach, and many are quite shallow making them perfect for snorkeling.
The reefs are healthy and quite fishy, and offer a superb variety of marine life to look at.
Turtles and southern stingrays are a common sight, and even reef sharks show up often enough. The photos here were taken just a few yards offshore.
