Live Cams in Turks and Caicos Islands

The Turks and Caicos Islands are a British Overseas Territory of some forty islands and cays south-east of the Bahamas, surrounded by coral reefs and shallow turquoise banks. The capital, Cockburn Town, is on Grand Turk, while most residents and visitors are on Providenciales.

Salt raked from the shallow ponds of Grand Turk and Salt Cay was the islands' main export for centuries, and in 1962 the astronaut John Glenn was brought to Grand Turk after the first American orbital flight. The US dollar is the official currency, and conch is the staple of local cooking.
