Q: What are the top tourist attractions in Grand Turk?

Grand Turk Lighthouse : Walk the clifftop path to this 19th-century beacon and feel the Atlantic wind on the bluffs. Watch for humpback whales in winter as surf pounds the ironshore below. Cockburn Town Historic District : Wander along Duke and Front Streets past coral-stone cottages, old cannons, and low sea walls. Spot the salt ponds that powered the island’s early life. Turks and Caicos National Museum : Visit the Guinep House to see Lucayan artefacts and exhibits on the Molasses Reef Wreck. Get a clear picture of island history in compact, well-labelled rooms. Governor's Beach : Relax under casuarina shade and swim in calm, clear water with powdery sand underfoot. Snorkel around scattered coral heads when visibility is good. Gibbs Cay : Cruise a short hop to this low, sandy islet and wade beside gentle southern stingrays in waist-deep water. Snorkel over sea fans in bright, shallow reef.

Yes, the heart of Grand Turk is easy to walk. In Cockburn Town you can stroll Duke Street and Front Street to the National Museum, old prison, and small beaches. From the Cruise Centre you can walk to Governor’s Beach, though the lighthouse at the north end is far and best reached by vehicle.
