Things To Do in South Caicos
World-class diving, wild flamingos, the exclusive Sailrock resort and the most unspoilt island in Turks & Caicos.
World-Class Diving
South Caicos is one of the best diving destinations in the entire Caribbean — the waters around the island are home to pristine coral reefs, extraordinary marine life and some of the clearest water in the world. The reefs around South Caicos have been relatively undisturbed by tourism, making them some of the most spectacular in the islands. Sailrock South Caicos has its own dive operation offering excursions to the best sites.
Sailrock South Caicos
Sailrock South Caicos is one of the most exclusive and spectacular resorts in the Caribbean — a luxury resort set along the shores of South Caicos, where the clear waters of the Atlantic meet soft sands. The resort offers an extraordinary level of privacy and exclusivity, with world-class facilities, excellent dining and direct access to some of the best diving and snorkelling in the islands.
Wild Flamingos
South Caicos is home to a colony of wild flamingos — one of the most spectacular natural sights in the Turks and Caicos Islands. The flamingos can be seen at the saltwater ponds on the island, particularly in the early morning and late afternoon. South Caicos is also home to a wide variety of other bird life, making it an excellent destination for birdwatching.
Columbus Passage
The Columbus Passage is the deep-water channel between South Caicos and Grand Turk — one of the best places in the world to watch humpback whales between January and April. The passage is also home to extraordinary marine life, including whale sharks, manta rays and a wide variety of pelagic fish. Boat trips through the passage are available from South Caicos.
Cockburn Harbour
Cockburn Harbour is the main settlement on South Caicos — a charming, authentic fishing village with a small harbour, a few local restaurants and a wonderfully unhurried atmosphere. The village is a world away from the tourist development of Providenciales, with a genuine, local character that gives visitors a real taste of life in the Turks and Caicos Islands.
