Located about 12 miles Northeast of Providenciales, North Caicos is a lush island with a beautiful tropical forest, sand bar extending along the Northeastern coast, and the largest flock of Pink Flamingos in all of the Turks & Caicos. A rugged slow-paced escape to a beautiful tropical island with less infrastructure than Provo, North Caicos is a wonderful day trip from Provo by plane, ferry, or private boat charter.
