More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The day opens on a sugar-white strip of sand at Grace Bay, where the ocean is the color of broken turquoise glass and the boat’s engine stirs a line of silver toward the horizon. You climb aboard with the smell of salt and rum punch in the air; minutes later the reef rises up beneath the hull and the world narrows to bright coral and the soft hiss of breath through a snorkel. Later, you cross the shallow banks to North Caicos, where a waiting fleet of ATVs and buggies promise a different kind of speed—low, sandy, and wind-bent.
