Grand Turk is a British territory island in the Turks and Caicos Islands in the Atlantic Ocean. It is the capital island of the Turks and Caicos with an area of 7 square miles (largest island in the Turks islands). Grand Turk may be small but it’s packed with stunning crystal clear beaches and historic charm.
