Description:
South Caicos, one of the smallest islands in the Turks and Caicos archipelago, is known for excellent scuba diving, deep sea fishing, and bone fishing. The island supports a huge range of sealife from sharks, eagle rays and loggerhead turtle to the smallest organisms in the spectacular coral reefs. This eight square miles of coral rock is a quiet community of approximately 1200 friendly people with an interesting history and intriguing scenery worth exploring.
Cockburn Harbour (not to be confused with Cockburn Town on Grand Turk) is the principal settlement and capital of South Caicos, but is a sleepy little town. The South Caicos Regatta is held here every May to commemorate a visit by the Queen of England in 1966.
The town and harbor are located in the south of the island.
