Grand Turk, of the Turks & Caicos Islands is a unique island, tiny but varied, from some of the most beautiful beaches in the world to cowboys riding horses down main street of the capitol city, Cockburntown, there is a lot of variety packed into this island paradise.

Near the site of the splash down of John Glenn , America’s first astronaut in space, the island has remained quiet and reserved until now. That is about to change, many new resort paradises are on the horizon and the island is destined to become a destination resort.
