Introducing Cockburn Town

Without knowing beforehand you’d be hard pressed to guess that sleepy Cockburn is the capital city of the Turks and Caicos. What it lacks in polish and sophistication it more than makes up for in rustic charm. The town itself comprises two parallel streets that are interconnected with narrow laneways. Colonial-era houses line the tiny streets and former salt-storage sheds hark back to a bygone era of dusty roads and donkey-filled lanes.

The heart of town is sandwiched between the ocean and the salt pond named Red Salina.
