Grand Turk is a small Old World Caribbean island. The island has maintained the charm of the colonial days due to the many antique colonial Bermudian buildings that line the walled streets. Youll feel as though you stepped back in time as you venture out for an evening stroll. There are beautiful views from nearly every place you visit on the island. Many of the restaurants are seated on the edge of the beach, a romantic setting for a leisurely meal. The local people are friendly and welcoming. The Turks and Caicos are considered some of the safest in the Caribbean, they are British governed islands but the currency is the U.S. Dollar.

A description of the beautiful and largely unmarred Turks & Caicos Islands.


By Barbara Spiess

Once a part of the British Bahamas and famed for profits from salt raking, the Turks and Caicos Islands had their place during the colonial times of the Caribbean. When salt raking became unprofitable around 1900 &8211 because salt mines in Europe delivered the white gold at much lower cost &8211 these islands seemed to disappear from written history. In 1961, the first car came to the island of Providenciales, and within little more than one generation, the major island experienced a revival and grew from 1,000 to 15,000 inhabitants. The smaller islands of the archipelago remain widely unchanged.

Tourism is certainly the dominant factor, but it is not geared toward the masses &8211 it is more individualistic and upscale. The British Governor and the locally elected government try hard to avoid the mistakes that have been made at many other places. The tag line &8220Beautiful by Nature&8221 is institutionalized through the creation of marine parks and national parks, which protect the unique marine life, the reefs, the bird sanctuaries, and the iguana refuges.

A more prominent &8220representative&8221 of the marine life is the bottlenosed dolphin named &8220JoJo,&8221 who shows up in the vicinity of the beaches and boats. JoJo impresses swimmers with his elegant moves or frightens some tourists, who mistakenly believe that a big white shark is approaching them. A website &8211 http//www.jojo.tc &8211 is dedicated to JoJo, and quite prominent supporters, from Robin Williams to the United Nations to the Prince of Wales, assist his human friend and defender Dean Bernal in his effort to give protection to the unique animal and his very special species.

Such genuine islands, as the Turks and Caicos still are, have their attraction for celebrities, who can afford to escape from tourist crowds. Bruce Willis and the magician David Copperfield are two celebrities who built their villas on the islands.

As most of us do not belong to those ranks, but still want to enjoy such scenic spots, it came to my mind when I visited the island for the first time in 1996 to open a bed and breakfast inn. The unbelievable colors of the sea &8211 from deep blue to light turquoise &8211 the intense sunlight, the dry, desertlike climate, the spectacular marine life and corals &8211 all of those attractions made me to leave Munich, Germany and start something entirely different. Being inexperienced in hospitality business did not stop me from going through the adventure to build a place and finally open it in 1998. The &8220Caribbean Paradise Inn&8221 became soon a favorite destination for those who do not have or want to spend $800 a night and for those who do not like to join the crowds at allinclusive places.

For more information, visit our comprehensive website at http//www.paradise.tc, where I have also compiled island overview information perfect for a firsttime visitor.
