White sand beaches, unpolluted and uncrowded waters offer a paradise for swimming, snorkeling and beach combing.

Day travelers to North Caicos : There is so much to see and do in the short time of one day.  Catch the early ferry from Providenciales, enjoy a relaxed breakfast at the Silver Palm, and let us help you with directions.  Silver Palm  welcomes customers to their beach access and lounge chairs. Victoria Gift shop has snorkel gear for rent.

Inside the reef that surrounds North Caicos  you will find calm crystal waters that abound in marine life.

When it comes to fishing, the Turks and Caicos Islands are unsurpassed. Virtually all water game species abound. There are bonefish by thousands, snapper and grouper.

If you are feeling really lazy, you can just wade out and pluck your own fresh lobster or conch!

Snorkeling, fishing, private excursions and eco-tours can be arranged through Beach Cruiser, the best snorkel operation on North Caicos.

Much of the underwater world of North Caicos’ north shore coast remains unexplored.

There are huge coral hills 30 to 40 feet high, separated by tiny canyons and overgrown with soft corals, within one-half to one mile offshore.

One of the more popular locations for snorkeling from the beach on North Caicos is Three Mary’s Cays, just west of Whitby Beach.Starting from the shore in very shallow water, snorkelers enjoy swimming around the three individual cays located very near the shore, observing different forms of coral, fish and sea life.

Visit the Government Farm in Kew, with exotic native fruit trees or enjoy nearby Wades Green, an interpretive walk through shaded woodlands. The plantation ruins of the Loyalists, the American colonists who remained loyal to Great Britain during the American Revolutionary War, gives a remarkable sense of North Caicos heritage.

While staying overnight on North Caicos, it’s fun to go for a short boat ride  to Fort George Cay where you can observe the remains of ancient submerged cannons over mounds of coral stone blocks. 

This is also a fabulous location for finding sea shells and various other treasures that float in on the tides.

There are mysterious caverns where guano was mined as fertilizer, the largest of all in the Caribbean region is located on Middle Caicos near the Conch Bar settlement. 

Rent a car and journey to Middle Caicos via the causeway that connects North Caicos and Middle Caicos.

Rare tropical bird life and prehistoric iguanas can be found in many of the sanctuaries and reserves.

There are also a huge number of migrating whales approximately 2000 feet offshore of North Caicos in the winter months through the end of March.

Flocks of pink flamingos are often observed from Whitby Beach, right in front of our restaurant. There is a constant presence of pelicans and ospreys.

At times a playful dolphin may join you in the calm surf.

Be welcome at Silver Palm Restaurant and Bar. Meals, snacks, ice cream, drinks and cold libations to refresh you while you explore North Caicos. Customers can take advantage of Silver Palms’ beach access trail and enjoy the best beach North Caicos has to offer.
