Turks and Caicos
North Caicos

Quiet sister island reached by ferry — Mudjin Harbour, Wades Green plantation, almost no tourism.
North Caicos is reached by a 30-minute ferry from Provo and feels like TCI 20 years ago: scattered settlements, dramatic limestone cliffs at Mudjin Harbour, the ruins of Wades Green Plantation, and Flamingo Pond inland. A causeway connects to Middle Caicos. Few hotels — most visitors come on day trips or rent a villa for genuine quiet.
