Turks and Caicos is a beautiful archipelago located in the Caribbean Sea. Its crystal-clear waters, white sandy beaches, and vibrant marine life make it a popular destination for tourists. The islands were first inhabited by the Lucayan people, and later became a British colony. In the 1960s, tourism began to develop on the islands, and today it is the main industry. In addition to its natural beauty, Turks and Caicos is known for its rich history of shipwrecks and pirate activity, as the area was a popular spot for Spanish galleons to stop and refuel during the colonial era.
