Property for sale in Grace Bay,
Turks and Caicos Islands

An English-speaking, British Dependant Territory, the Turks and Caicos are a group of eight islands and 40 small cays (pronounced "keys") located 575 miles southeast of Miami (about 90 minutes by air). The Bahamas are about 30 miles to the northwest and the Dominican Republic is 100 miles to the southeast.

Situated on the west side of the Caicos archipelago, Providenciales has an area of 38 square miles. Prior to 1960, the island had a population of 500. Today, it has the largest population and contains the largest native and nonnative population in Turks & Caicos. Development of Providenciales began in 1966 when the Turks and Caicos Government and the British Government made a lease-purchase agreement with Provident Ltd. allowing them to lease 4000 acres of Crown Land.

Grand Turk is the political capital of the islands and is noted for Columbus landing there in 1492 during his first quest for the New World.

Providenciales (Provo) is the most well known of the islands and features first-class accommodations along 12 miles of powdery white beach. The other islands include Salt Cay, North, Middle and South Caicos, Parrot Cay and Pine Cay.

Beautiful beaches are scattered on all sides of Providenciales, the most spectacular of which is a 12 mile stretch located on Grace Bay, which is protected by a healthy barrier reef.

The Turks and Caicos average 350 days of sunshine per year. The tropical climate and cool island breezes are comfortable year round. Temperatures range from 80 to 90 degrees Fahrenheit. Water temperatures rarely dip below 74 degrees.

This caring island community of about 25,000 friendly locals and internationals is located halfway between Florida and Puerto Rico, and only a ninety minute, non-stop jet flight from Miami.
