Like many island destinations, sailing, fishing and diving are favorite activities for visitors. But there are other things to see. Pridenciales, or Provo , is home to about 18,000 people, the largest population of any island in the territory. It is here visitors will find the Caicos Conch Farm , which offers guided tours. In addition, snorkeling opportunities are available at White House Reef or Smith's Reef .
Sailing is also common, as are pristine white sand beaches.
Uninhabited West Caicos offers Molasses Reef , said to be the final resting place of the Pinta . North Caicos is home to a garden center, where a large, pink flock may be found in Flamingo Pond . Bring binoculars to get the best view. On the Turks side, capital island Grand Turk is hosts Cockburn Town , a 19th Century wonder. Salt Cay, despite its mere 1,000 residents, offers a scuba haven at Endymion , a British warship that sank in 1790.
