I am traveling to Beaches in Turk and Caicos and I was curious about activities outside the resort area.?

Any suggestions for sightseeing, local restaurants and other beaches that should be visited. Thanks

Are you hiring a car? If not, then there's a tourist bus service. http://www.thegecko.tc/ You will be staying on the beach which was voted the best in the world last year. And it is pretty fine! But if you have a four wheel drive vehicle you may care to go as far as Malcolm Beach (which is off the beaten track) or explore some of the beaches towards Leeward. Let me recommend Simba restaurant, Iguana Restaurant and The Sharkbite in Turtle Cove as delightful places to eat. Don't go to Bella Luna. I did and left in tears after a really miserable eating experience! There's not much sightseeing, so it's a matter of finding out your favourite spots on your own. Chalk Sound is scenically fascinating. http://www.turksandcaicostourism.com/
