Latest reviews on Turks and Caicos Islands's beaches

Bambarra beach
10 Renata Jardine

This beach is absolutely fantastic, boasting not one but two charming little bars. It's a serene and secluded spot that's perfect for taking a refreshing dip and enjoying some good old-fashioned beach entertainment.

Horse Stable beach
8 Nate Duvall.

This beach is quite lovely, and it's conveniently located with beautiful scenery.

Bonefish Point beach

We didn't make it to the beach because the path was too rough. If you want to avoid any relationship stress, I suggest only going if you have a 4-wheel drive, spare tire, and a jack (make sure to check for both). Some parts of the drive can damage your oil pan if you choose the wrong path. We assisted some people who had a flat tire during the journey, and their rental company couldn't locate them. There are many other beaches accessible from paved roads.

English Point beach
6 Adam Laroche.

The beach is rather unremarkable, however, it is home to a multitude of adorable hermit crabs scurrying about. The rhythmic sound of the Pacific Ocean crashing onto the shore creates a serene atmosphere. Unfortunately, the beach is marred by a significant amount of litter, which is a disappointing sight.

Secluded, uncrowded.
