South Caicos is the jewel among the islands of the Turks & Caicos. Here is an island where nature prevails with long, white sandy beaches, jagged leeward-side bluffs, quiet back-water bays and salt flats teeming with pink flamingos. It is renowned for its excellent scuba diving, gamefishing and legendary bonefishing.

The island is home to the finest harbor in Turks & Caicos, Cockburn Harbour, the most protected and only natural deep-water harbor in the island chain. Legend has it that the harbor was once a popular hideaway for pirates roaming the Caribbean.

Standing guard over the still marina waters, the village of Cockburn Harbour sits quietly under the sun, its residents moving slowly with the mild pace of the wind.

This is a fishing town, as it has been for hundreds of years, serving up delicious prizes like lobster, conch, grouper and more.
