South Caicos Turks and Caicos Islands
Historically a salt producing island but geographically a Caicos Island. Due to an abundance of marine life the island’s economy is fueled by the export of conch and lobster. South Caicos is well known in the diving community for clear visibility in water depths from 20 feet (6m) dropping “off the wall” to 7,000 feet (2,100m) with a fantastic array of corals and fishes. A hotel and diver operation is now open. Bird watching enthusiasts will find the best variety of subjects at the Highlands estate. The most protected harbour in all of the Islands, East Harbour, is host to our sailing regatta each May.
