Creator's Key Takeaways

the beaches however are very different the first Beach that we're at is called the north beach and if you walk out the ship it's going to be to your left

the majority of people who come to gr Turk prefer the beach on the left which is also known as the north beach and the reason why they prefer it is because it has nice soft sand

I spoke to several people who came into this area and their number one reason for coming over here was the fact that there was no barrier between them and the water

I had a great time at gr turk it wasn't the best beach right off the Cru Port however there are lots of other things to do that really make this of the better Cruise stops

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Get off the ship early to secure a free chair on the beach.
โœ“Consider the paid beach area for discounted drinks and no barrier to the water.
โœ“Use maps scattered throughout the plaza area if you feel confused.

YouTube Video Descriptionโ†“

Join me as I explore Grand Turk Caribbean Cruise Port. I take a comprehensive look at all there is to see and do here. I do a full review of the North and South beach areas, the port center, and a review of some excursion options. I take you all around the Grand Turk Cruise Center where you can go to the Beach, pool, and Jimmy Buffetts Margaritaville. There are also shopping options that I explore. The Grand Turk Cruise Port is the only place to dock when visiting Grand Turk by cruise ship. Only Carnival and its sister ships are allowed to dock here and that's because it spent 50 million dollars to build this cruise port back in 2006. I will help you decide on what you need to bring? What is there to do? We are going to tell you everything you need to know to prepare for your day at Grand Turk. Grand Turk is the largest island in the Turks Islands and it is relatively small; just 18 km2 (6.9 sq mi). Grand Turk contains the territory's capital, Cockburn Town, and the JAGS McCartney International Airport. The Grand Turk Port has lots to see and do. However, to make it simple, there are 4 main areas; shopping, pool, north beach, and south beach. I review it all to help you plan your day. The island is the administrative, historical, cultural, and financial center of the territory and has the second-largest population of the islands at approximately 4,831 people in 2012.
