Experience the slow-paced and gentle life on North Caicos, its peaceful silence broken only by the voice of nature… a splash of wave on a deserted beach, the wind’s whisper through a pine, and the gobble of a Cuban crow.
Freshwater ponds dot the landscape and flamingos and other rare birds make their nests in the protected wetlands. A tour around the Island’s settlements of Sandy Point, Kew, Whitby, Major Hill and Bottle Creek can be taken on the smooth paved traffic-free roads. Besides a trip to the exotic flocks at Flamingo Pond, you can tour the haunting and well preserved Loyalist plantations ruins at Wade’s Green or gaze into the depths of Cottage Pond, a submerged sinkhole that connects to the ocean local cave divers have mapped to a depth of 255 feet. At Bottle Creek, a center of fishing, local boat building and hand craft work you can see ancestral homes made of “tabby wall” some are still occupied.
South to Ready Money you can view miles of virgin forest including the tallest Caribbean pines in the Islands. A tour around Ready Money Garden a field plot of tropical fruits including bananas, papayas, sapodillas, sugar apples and sugar canes is a step back into the joy of natural beauty and tranquility to the first time visitors.
