Diving for conch on north caicos

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

When it comes to fishing, our 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!

diving on north caicos reef

Scuba diving, snorkeling, fishing, private excursions and eco-tours can be arranged through Beach Cruiser, the only dive/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.

three mary's cays snorkeling off north caicos

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.

There are some good snorkeling spots found from the beach in front of Silver Palms Restaurant & Bar. Ask us about our beach access trail.

Visit the Government Farm in Kew, full of native exotic fruit trees or take a stroll along the nature trail on the way to Wades Green.

Wades Green is the ruins of an old Loyalist plantation ( Loyalists were American colonists who remained loyal to Great Britain during the American Revolutionary War).

Wade's Green was salvaged from the undergrowth and made into an interpretive historic presentation, giving a remarkable sense of North Caicos heritage.
