Governor's Beach

Beach · Grand Turk, Turks and Caicos Islands

Grand Turk's best-known beach, a wide strip of soft, light sand and exceptionally clear shallow water fringed by a shady casuarina grove. It sits inside Columbus Landfall National Park on the island's leeward coast, about a mile north of the cruise centre. The calm, protected water makes for easy swimming, and the tree line offers natural shade rare on the island.
