Did you know that one of the most popular attractions to visit in Turks and Caicos was actually originally built in the UK? The Grand Turk Lighthouse was constructed in 1852 and later moved in pieces to its final home at the northern tip of the Grand Turk. It stands tall as a historic site that is revered and beloved by all locals as well as protected by the National Trust. Enjoy an afternoon picnicking under the lighthouse’s shade or sitting atop the lighthouse’s hill to view the whales off the coast in February and March. The lighthouse is also the perfect spot to take in the gorgeous body of water that is the North Creek, which many historians claim to be part of the first island that Columbus encountered in 1492.
