Grace Bay beach is considered the most beautiful beach in Turks and Caicos, a group of island that has several lovely beaches. Grace Bay is protected by a reef, has turquoise water, fine white sand and a light breeze that will make your stay perfect. Besides, even in the high tourism season you will find a spot for you because this is a twelve mile beach.
Grace Bay is the calmest beach in Turks and Caicos and is also part of The National Marine Park of the island, but it is fair to say that in recent years Grace Bay has developed a good infrastructure of hotels and restaurants that has taken out the peace and tranquility that reign time ago.
John Glenn, the American astronaut, said that it should be the paradise on earth when he saw the Turk and Caicos coral islands from the space. That sentence is very well defended by the group of 40 islands and cays that form Turk and Caicos. Among them Grand Turk is the capital island where international cruises arrives on regular basis, and it is also here where Columbus arrived for the first time in the New World.
HOTELS IN TURKS AND CAICOS
There is any kind of accommodation in Turks and Caicos; from the most luxurious hotels to amazing villas in front of the sea, and from the all inclusive type resort to singles bungalows in the beach.
In Turks and Caicos, the biggest hotels offers a variety of service that usually include diving excursions, golfing, car and bicycle hire, fitness room and almost any service that a five stars can offer. The smallest ones, or the resorts, do not have all those service but also offer a deep grade of intimacy and personal treatment.
