Bohio dive resort sits on the white sand of one of the most beautiful beaches in the world, idyllic Pillory beach, on the sleepy Caribbean island of Grand Turk.
Covering around 200 square miles in the Atlantic Ocean, the Turks and Caicos islands boast the third largest coral reef system in the world. Surrounded by powder white sandy beaches and warm, clear turquoise waters, they are an increasingly popular Caribbean vacation destination, especially for divers and other water-lovers. While most tourists gravitate to the busy resorts of Providenciales, Grand Turk retains a slower pace, despite being capital of the Turks and Caicos Islands. It attracts tourists who seek real island life and a friendly local welcome away from the tourist traps, hotel chains and bustle, as well as those seeking a Caribbean diving destination that's as-yet unspoilt. The island has an old-fashioned colonial charm, with donkeys wandering through the streets of Cockburn Town, flamingos resting in the old salt ponds, relics of the salt-raking industry, a pink court house, and traffic jams are positively unheard of. This picturesque island chain, lying just beyond the Bahamas, is just a short hour and a half hop from Miami or Fort Lauderdale, with connections from many other US cities, and direct flights from London, Toronto and many parts of the Caribbean and Bahamas. Air Turks and Caicos and Sky King offer local island flight connections and Spirit airlines now fly direct to Grand Turk International Airport twice weekly. Bohio resort can help you make your Spirit reservation. A taxi ride from the airport to Bohio resort is just $8 per person. Grand Turk is just seven miles long by a mile and a half at it's widest point, so you can get about easily by bike or scooter. From Bohio, Cockburn town is just a short stroll along the beach, or take a kayak to a different beach for a change of scene. Take an excursion around the lighthouse, or to one of the neighboring cays, to explore the wildlife or the island life. There's a great little museum if you are looking for cultural history, or explore the beach-side bars and local bands along Front Street for a different sort of local culture. |
