For this solo episode, Clare shares what makes Turks & Caicos feel so special. She shares details of the best beaches, where to see dolphins, whales, and sea turtles, take a glass-bottom boat tour, go snorkelling, kayaking, fishing and much more. As well as explaining the most affordable and convenient ways to see the islands and where to find the best food.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Only 8 of the islands are inhabited.
• The main islands form two distinct groups. Turks has 2 inhabited islands – Gran Turk and Salt Cay, the remaining 6 make up the Caicos island group.
• All of the beaches are open to the public, including those that are next to hotels and private villas.

• If you want to see whales visit between January and April and go to either Gran Turks or Salt Cay.
• Head to Half Moon Bay to see iguanas.
