White
sand beaches, unpolluted and uncrowded waters
offer a paradise for swimming, snorkeling and
beach combing.
Inside
the reef that surrounds our island you will find calm crystal
waters that abounds in marine life.
When
it comes to fishing, our islands are unsurpassed. Virtually
all water game species abound. There are bonefish by thousands,
snapper and grouper.
If
you are really lazy, you can just wade out and pluck your
own lobster or conch!
Scuba
diving, snokeling, fishing, private excursions and eco-tours
can be arranged through Beach Cruiser, the only dive/snorkel
operation on North Caicos.
Much
of the underwater world of North Caicos' north shore coast
remains unexplored.
There
are huge coral hills 30 to 40 feet high, separated by tiny
canyons and overgrown with soft corals, within one-half
to one mile offshore.
We
also have a fresh water pool surrounded by a wooden deck,
a very comfortable place for relaxation in the sun.
You
may enjoy a stroll along our tree shaded walkways where
you can learn about over 50 types of indigenous plants
on a self guided tour. Be sure to ask for the guide sheet
on the botanical descriptions.
Ruins
of old plantations; mysterious caverns where guano was
mined as fertilizer; rare tropical bird life and prehistoric
iguanas can be found in many of the sanctuaries and reserves.
There
are also a huge number of migrating whales approximately
2000 feet offshore in the month of March.
Flocks
of pink flamingos are often observed from our beach. There
is a constant presence of pelicans and ospreys. At times
a playful dolphin may join you in the calm surf.
A
short boat ride will take you to Fort George Cay where
you can observe submerged cannons over mounds of coral
stone blocks. This is also a fabulous location for finding
sea shells.
You
can visit the Kew Farm, full of native exotic fruit trees
or take a stroll along the nature trail.
