Our goal for the Weekly Wander is to give you 5 minutes out of your busy day to see something beautiful and escape reality! This week we are taking you to the mesmerizing island of Turks and Caicos! The crystal blue water brings visitors to this island and it is truly something to behold! You can swim as far out as you can and still see the white sandy bottom with complete clarity.
No lie… NO filter …it’s just really that beautiful.
Turks and Caicos is known for some of the best scuba diving in the world, located on the 3rd largest reef in the world just behind the Great Barrier Reef in Australia and the Barrier Reef in Belize. For us this was the main purpose of this trip, our oldest son as dreamed for as long as we can remember to become PADI certified. The great thing about Beaches is unlimited diving for certified divers. You are able to receive all of your official PADI certifications onsite, the cost is not included but very thorough and they email your PADI card to you before you even leave the resort for future diving. Take a look at some of these stunning images …
Tap to scroll for more… at Beaches you leave right from the dock on site for all of your dives. They also take you out for snorkeling and glass bottom boats which is all included as well! Children as young as 8 years old can learn to scuba in the PADI Bubbles program. And yes that’s a shark! There were lots of reef and black tip sharks - amazingly they are beautiful creatures slowly gliding through the deep waters.
The fun doesn’t stop at diving! We were non-stop on our trip enjoying everything the resort has to offer! Snorkeling, Kayaking, Water Triking, Surfing on the Simulator, enjoying the water park, kids clubs, beach party, nightly shows, Sesame Street characters and 21 dining venues (we didn’t get to all of them so I guess we will have to go back). Imagine Disney in the Caribbean and you pretty much have Beaches Turks and Caicos!
Oh that darn Mac and Cheese truck with it’s delicious Fried Mac and Cheese balls, I’ll be wearing a moo moo for the rest of the summer!!
Ahhhh serenity now! Next time I’m planning a spa day for mom!
