NORTH CAIOCS
Known in the past as the "Garden Island", North Caicos has been the bread basket of the Turks and Caicos Islands. Today most people refer to it as the "Emerald Isle", due to its lush greenery.
Located 12 miles Northeast of Providenciales, North Caicos consists of four settlements, Kew, Bottle Creek, Sandy Point, and Whitby.
Its abundant rainfall which accounts for its rich and fertile soil, makes it ideal for agriculture. Years ago fine sloops were built to transport crops from the farms to the other islands.
The island is home to the largest flock of pink flamingoes that nest in the Flamingo Pond reserve. In addition, there are osprey nests located at Three Mary’s Cay on the northern coast of the island.
Other points of interest on the island include Horse Stable Beach, the new festival village,Pelican Point and Wades Green Plantation ruins.
IN 2007, a new causeway was opened which links North and Middle Caicos by road. Travellers can now drive the full length of these islands.
MIDDLE CAICOS
Middle Caicos, the largest island in the Turks and Caicos chain, is 48 square miles and has an outstanding area of natural beauty as well as having the UK’s largest Ramsar sites for protected wetlands and possibly one of the largest areas of natural habitat left in the Caribbean.
The three settlements of Conch Bar, Lorimers and Bambarra have a combined population of 277 residents.
The settlement of Conch Bar is home to the largest above ground cave network in the Northern Caribbean. These huge limestone caves feature stalagmites, stalactites, bats, owls and salt lakes that link to the sea.
The remains of huge Lucayan Indian settlements can also be found on this island. One site that was excavated in 1978, contains a Lucayan Ball Court, unknown elsewhere in the Lucayan islands.
