Turks and Caicos Triathalon

Another successful triathalon was held in the Turks and Caicos Islands this past Sunday with individual, team and youth participants some 64 strong.  The meet consisted of a 600 meter swim starting on Grace Bay Beach, then to a 10 mile bike ride along the road to the Golf Course and back to the Sands resort twice, and finally a 3 mile run to Leeward development and back…whew…I’m tired just writing the stuff never mind participating!  Well, I was an official timer so I guess that counts as participating!

The next event is scheduled for February 28th so if you are planning to participate plan your holiday travel around it…it’s a great way to see the sites, play among the locals and rest on the beach after you’re done.

To Middle Caicos We Go!

Today we are sitting in our office brainstorming on how to get ready for the season and have decided what we need to is go to the beach!  Why not?  How else can we get jazzed up about our islands and it’s great beaches like those in Middle Caicos that rival the best in the world?

The short ferry ride will take us to North Caicos first where we will stop and visit our listings there, and then drive over the new causeway to Middle which has made this sister island so accessible (and desirable as beachfront land is still affordable for many).

With any luck we will have time left over to navigate part of the caves that are also a highlight for any visitor to the Turks and Caicos Islands…hmm…well maybe not all of us!!!!!!

Visit again next week where we will report on our trip.




The Next Best Thing!

For those of us who can’t afford to buy beachfront land in the Turks and Caicos, we have alternatives that put you literally steps away at a fraction of the price!  Elevation, great views and easy each access make it the best of both worlds.

Our newest listing is in the community development known here as Richmond Commons and offers unobstructed views overlooking our world famous Grace Bay beach.  The staircase located just a feet away from the lot takes you down to the access path at about the 12 mile mark of the beach!

You CAN live the dream with the next best thing to owning on the beach!
