Discover live streaming webcams in the Turks and Caicos Islands archipelago, a British Overseas Territory consisting of more than 40 coral islands in the Atlantic Ocean and northern West Indies, southeast of the Bahamas.
The low-lying islands are well-known for their laid-back atmosphere and idyllic beaches of fine white sand, clear turquoise waters, scuba diving spots, and magnificent resorts.
The most famous beach in the archipelago is the incredible 12-mile stretch of Grace Bay Beach on Providenciales Island, which has been voted the best beach in the world numerous times.
Bockburn Town, the capital, covers the majority of Grand Turk Island.
The picturesque town has streets lined with old Bermudian-style buildings, the preserved colonial-era Her Majesty's Prison and Turks, and a diverse collection of historic artefacts at the Caicos National Museum.
Apart from being a world-class beach destination, the Turks and Caicos Islands are a water sports paradise, particularly in the Grace Bay area. Popular water sports include fishing, kayaking, and boating, and marinas can be found on all of the major islands.
Throughout the year, this destination hosts events such as the Conch Festival, which showcases the island's cuisine, and the Turks and Caicos Music and Cultural Festival. In bars and restaurants across the islands, you will also hear the musical genre of ripsaw, which originated in the Turks and Caicos Islands, as you taste traditional dishes such as grits and johnnycake.
