TURKS AND CAICOS: Today we discuss the things to know about visiting Turks and Caicos Islands. This small island nation of less than 100,000 people is made up of 40 islands with just about 8 being inhabited. That means there is a lot of virgin beach in Turks and Caicos. I spent my time on the main island of Providenciales but some of you on cruise ships will go to Grand Turk. This is a full Turks and Caicos travel guide.

I literally just came back from Turks and Caicos and yes I went there because of the beaches. But believe me when I tell you that the beaches were really beautiful but I Would never change La ensenada Beach in Puerto playa Dominican Republic for this. To me La ensenada has to be one of the top beaches in the world and the good thing is that La ensenada is not as popular as the beach in punta Cana and it's wayyy better. La ensenada you can literally 200ft+ inside the beach and the water doesn't get deeper then your chest is just unbelievable.

I'm more into learning about what life is like for locals living in a place like this. I doubt they go clubbing and drink cocktails everyday. What do they do in their spare time? What is work life like? Any funny stories of dealing with clueless tourists? What is it like to go grocery shopping? Are there any geeks and nerds living there who enjoy gaming and stuff like that? Are there regular clothing and shoe stores? (Not the overly expensive kind for tourists, but the kind of clothing you'd buy at Walmart). Or do they have to order them online and wait for them to arrive by boat or plane? So many other questions. I just can't find a video that answers stuff like this in small tropical tourist places.

If either flight is delayed and arrives at the airport at same time. The problem is when they process to planes at once. I heard they were building an air conditioned tent to help with the immigration lines.

hi a few questions, i'm having trouble deciding between aruba(staying at eagle beach) and t&c(staying at grace bay) and i saw you've done a travel guide for both! Which one would you recommend for: 1. clear, calm beaches that aren't too crowded. been to cancun and the beaches were kind of choppy 2. easily accessible, not wanting to rent a car, but mainly looking to stay at the beach, eat food and do a day of excursions. open to taking a taxi if it's easily accessible, but don't think it'll be worth it if i mainly just want to relax on the beach and eat food. thank you!!!

A lot of places in the world have beautiful beaches... One of the nicest beaches in the entire world is siesta Beach and by Sarasota Florida... Why go to an island that treats people who make a mistake like they're in a communist country. I would never go to that area ...why would you want to worry about if you make a mistake they'll throw you in their jail for years and years. People need to wake up and pay attention to what they're doing before traveling outside of the US. Do your homework on the legalities... find out what's happened to other people that have made mistakes. Don't be a sucker.
