Turks and Caicos in July

I was surprised how much I loved TCI, even in the height of summer - yes, it was warm, but warm at the beach with a light breeze is really wonderful! I especially liked being able to dive without wetsuits, and to walk into the ocean without feeling like it was the least bit chilly.

Our stay at Amanyara was perfection - beautiful grounds, a lovely and peaceful pavilion as our room, and beach bikes to ride along the quiet roads. Plus, probably the most beautiful (and largely deserted) beach I've ever seen, with some pretty fabulous snorkeling right off the sand and around the rocky point.

We had a great day diving and cliff jumping with Big Blue, the very best ecotourism and dive company on the Island!

Most of all, it was a wonderful opportunity to spend time with my youngest daughter :)
