Turks and Caicos Islands - Level 2: Exercise Increased Caution
Exercise increased caution in the Turks and Caicos Islands due to crime.

The Turks and Caicos Islands, a British Overseas Territory, are an archipelago situated in the Atlantic Ocean, southeast of the Bahamas. Comprising over 40 islands and cays, the eight main inhabited islands are divided into two groups: the Turks Islands (Grand Turk and Salt Cay) and the Caicos Islands (Providenciales, North Caicos, Middle Caicos, East Caicos, South Caicos, and West Caicos). These low-lying islands are primarily composed of limestone with extensive marshlands and mangrove swamps. The highest points on the islands are Blue Hills on Providenciales and Flamingo Hill on East Caicos, both reaching a modest 48 meters. Known for their stunning white-sand beaches, crystal-clear waters, and vibrant coral reefs, the Turks and Caicos Islands are a popular tourist destination.
