In general, all of the beaches in Turks and Caicos are family-friendly, so finding a place to enjoy building sandcastles and catching some rays will be easy. Some of our favorite beaches include:
- Grace Bay Beach

Enjoy Nature
The natural beauty is abundant throughout the Turks and Caicos Islands, including the wildlife on land and sea! Both parents and kids will be blown away by the menagerie of colorful fish, turtles, stingrays, coral, and more between Bight Reef and Smith’s Reef. The Turks and Caicos Rock Iguanas are also an extraordinary sight to see, and these native creatures are critically endangered. Taking the kids on a trip to Iguana Island is sure to make special memories. Oh, and don’t forget about the flamingos! At the Flamingo Pond Overlook, you can witness tons of colorful West Indian flamingos in their natural habitat.

The Turks and Caicos snorkeling tour offered by Caicos Dream Tours will take you beach cruising around Grace Bay, snorkeling the Barrier Reef (the third biggest reef in the world! ), and more. Finally, a stop at beautiful Half Moon Bay, where you’ll get to see the Rock Iguanas up close and personal!
