Turks & Caicos National Museum
If you find yourself in charming, dilapidated Cockburn Town, then visit this superb museum in the restored Guinep House. This historic building constructed of salvaged ships' timbers displays eclectic miscellany such as shell tools, beads, stamps, locks, and greenstone cells. Other sections are devoted to the salt industry and life on the coral reef.
The gallery upstairs offers an incredible, lifelike underwater display in 3D, a natural history gallery with displays on local wildlife, and a room dedicated to the pre-Columbian Taino culture.

Chalk Sound National Park
Ever wonder how exactly to define the colour turquoise? Well, look no further. The waters of this 5km (3mi) bay, a vast, unrippled electric-blue carpet, can make you gasp with its beauty. The bay is eerily and magnificently studded with countless mushroom-like tiny islets. A slender peninsula separates the sound from the sea and is scalloped with beach-lined bays.
At Sapodilla Bay, the rocky hilltop boasts carvings on slabs of rock that name shipwrecked sailors dating back to 1844.

This creepy place near the northeastern tip of Provo claims to be 'the world's only conch farm'. It strives to protect the Caribbean queen conch from extinction and also raises the molluscs commercially. On a 20-minute tour, you can learn how conchs are grown from eggs to adults.
