Grand Turk Island, B. W. I. – 2023.

Big name, small island. One of Grand Turks most charming qualities is its quaint accessibility. I explored the entire islands offerings in less than on April 11, 2023, in two hours on an Open-Air Tram. Others did it in thirty minutes, if they didn’t stop their 4-wheelers or a small electric Hummer to shop.

The Grand Turk island is 7 miles long, 600 miles SE of Florida.

It was Christopher Columbus first stops during his voyage to the New World in 1492. John Glenn splashed down off the coast of the island in 1962 when he became the first American to orbit earth.

The Grand Turk Island is the capital island of the Turks and Caicos archipelago, in the North Atlantic. It’s dotted with the remains of salt ponds from the island’s Sea Salt industry from the 17th to the 20th centuries.

There are no taxes levied on the Grand Trunk residents. The government is run on fees from all visitors.
