Not all Caribbean beach bars are made out of driftwood and have underwear hanging from the ceiling. On the other end of the beach bar spectrum is the Infiniti Bar at the Grace Bay Club on Providenciales in the Turks & Caicos Islands. Yes, even the laid back Caribbean knows how to be ritzy and chic. What makes the Infiniti Bar special, just look at the photo above and you'll know why. No … [Read more...]
Your cruise ship docks at the pier on beautiful Grand Turk island in the Turks and Caicos. You shuffle off with the hundreds of other passengers and are instantly assaulted by tourist shops and chain bars (sorry Margaritaville). There's nothing inherently wrong with enjoying yourself in this atmosphere, but it's hard to get a feeling for the island this way. Let your salty soul take you down the … [Read more...]
What would you give to be the happy folks in this photo? One hundred dollars? One thousand dollars? An arm, maybe a leg? When I see a photo like today's Photo Friday picture I slump back in my chair and groan. Sure I live 5 minutes from the beach, but our water doesn't look anything like that. It's more of a deep green and is rarely crystal clear. I may be splitting hairs here but that's what … [Read more...]
Da Conch Shack sits right on the beach in beautiful Provo, Turks and Caicos. In true island spirit, it's famous for two things: fresh local seafood and a wide selection of rum. As the name suggests, conch is the house specialty but the in-season grouper, snapper and lobster are not to be missed. No trip to Turks and Caicos is complete without a journey to Da Conch Shack! Though you can get … [Read more...]
Turks and Caicos loves to show off their natural beauty, and who can blame them. If you got it, flaunt it! The first Turks and Caicos webcam I posted was how do you say...boring. It was of the golf course and didn't show the famous island beaches. The second one did. Here is the beautiful Grace Bay Beach webcam. Today I thought I'd share with you the Grand Turk Cruise Center webcam. Basically … [Read more...]
Turks and Caicos is a place to retreat too. A place to turn off the cell phone, wake up late every morning and fill your schedule with nothing at all. Raise your hand if your interest is peeked. Okay, lower your hands, I can't see you any ways. It does sound like a slice of "Yes Please" doesn't it. This week's island webcam comes from the fabulous Turks and Caicos and the island of … [Read more...]
I hear people rave about the Turks and Caicos all the time. I have not yet had the chance to put my toes in the sand on these island yet. This webcam at the Provo Golf Club & Country Club is the closest some of us have been. The beautiful Turks & Caicos Islands are situated one and a half hours flying time or 575 miles southeast of Miami and consist of eight major islands, split … [Read more...]

Who I am and Why I Write - Close your eyes and remove yourself from the everyday. Picture your toes sinking into the sand as the waves kiss your ankles and listen to the coconut palms rustle in the gentle sea breeze. That’s a nice feeling isn’t it? I live a little bit of that life and want to share my tropical dreams with you. My name is Ryan and I hale from the land-locked, can’t get any further from the ocean, state of Kansas. I moved to laid back southwest Florida back in 2001 and have … Read More
