Little something for everyone. We went down the beach and found some chairs and pulled them back into the trees to sit. The beach is gorgeous.

Grand Turk Island

One of my favorite stops. I have been before. We walked down the beach and paid half of what was being asked for 2 chairs and umbrella.

We walked off with our luggage. We waited close to the last departure time. It was easy to get off even with all of our luggage.
