Turks and Caicos Islands Travel Forum

We will be visiting Turks & Caicos this Friday, February 4th. The weather calls for showers on Saturday and Sunday. Was just wondering, are these the showers we get in NYC? where it rains all through morning, noon and night... or can we expect few minute showers here and there.

Also, there's not much to do on the island, but can anyone make recommendations? We are there for 3 nights.

Thanks!

Visited Turks & Caicos for a week about 6 years ago - stayed at Club Med. There were plenty of activities and sports available at Club Med, but I do understand that away from Club Med there wasn't a lot to do (or night life) on the island. One boat trip to an island preserve for iguanas was interesting - covered with thousands of iguanas, that eat out of your hand. (Bring iguana food with you to that island.)

We have traveled many places, including French Polynesia, Hawaii, most of the Caribbean - but we agree that the water in Turks & Caicos was the clearest we have seen anywhere, and the beaches probably had the best sand (and were uncrowded).

Would expect any showers to be brief and not a problem in February - and the rain is warm. Hurricane season is June - November, and rainfall is more plentiful then. February weather should be nice - but, with weather, there are no guarantees anywhere.

I have traveled to T & C once a year for 10 years. Mainly to the islands of Provodenciales and Grand Turk. With the constant ocean breeze the rain showers never last long. If you are able, rent a moped and get a map at the rental agency and just tour the islands. There are some beautiful sights on every island. If you are going diving, T & C have some of the most beautiful waters. The cleares I've ever seen anywhere in the Caribbean. Have a great time- I am extremely envious!!
