Warm, sugar-white sands greet visitors of this island, the most popular destination in the Turks and Caicos chain. This is an ideal Caribbean retreat, where turquoise waves lap at the edges of seaside colonial towns -- Cockburn, Grand Turk’s largest settlement, boasts architecture dating to the 18th century. History is nearly as important to the island as the beaches, with museums and cultural centers dotting the shore. Climb the winding stairs of a 150-year-old lighthouse for sweeping views of the sea, sunny beaches and passing whales, depending on the season.
