About Grand Turk Island
Grand Turk Island is the capital island of the Turks and Caicos archipelago, in the Atlantic Ocean. It's dotted with the remains of salt ponds and windmills from the island's sea salt industry, prevalent from the 17th to 20th century. The 19th-century Grand Turk Lighthouse is perched on a rocky bluff in the north. Beaches with clear water ring the island, which is home to wild horses and donkeys.
