Pine Cay, Turks and Caicos Islands

Turks and Caicos Islands Map

The two island groups, Turks Islands and Caicos Islands, are in the North Atlantic Ocean, southeast of the Bahamas, north of Hispaniola, and 494 nautical miles from Miami, at 21°45′N, 71°35′W. The territory is geographically contiguous to the Bahamas, but is politically a separate entity. The Caicos Islands are separated by the Caicos Passage from the closest Bahamian islands, Mayaguana and Great Inagua.

The eight main islands and more than 20 smaller islands have a total land area of 616.3 square kilometres (238 sq mi), primarily of low, flat limestone with extensive marshes and mangrove swamps and 370 kilometres (230 mi) of beach front. The weather is usually sunny and relatively dry, but suffers frequent hurricanes. The islands have limited natural fresh water resources; private cisterns collect rainwater for drinking. The primary natural resources are spiny lobster, conch and other shellfish. The United Nations Committee on Decolonisation includes the Turks and Caicos Islands on the United Nations list of Non-Self-Governing Territories.

The two distinct island groups are separated by the Turks Passage.

...the Meridian Club is a spot I've visited for over 20 years- it's as charming now as it was at first sighting - the rooms are very nice, not luxurious, but very nice- but the best includes the beach- great! the water- fabulous!

..greatest 'asset' is its beach. It's sterling reputation has been, justifyably, well documented. For those who haven't heard, I liken it to the beaches displayed in the Corona Beer TV ads. Imagine an unspoiled, primitive beauty that stretches, literally, for miles. My wife and I were often the only ones on this expansive area -- for hours! - Guest Comments 2007

The reason I wanted to write in such detail about our experience at the MC was how I felt after leaving -- totally rejuvenated. I will admit that the MC appeals to a discernable taste and style. There are no TVs or phones. There is no 'nightlife'. There isn't a long list of activities to occupy every waking minute of the day. You will not find Four Seasons sophistication. Think of a casual, more rustic elegance. What the MC provides is an atmosphere where one can 'heal' (mentally and physically), a place where you can spend some quality time with a significant other and take in the great sights (awesome turquoise colored water) and sounds (tradewinds blowing a sea grape leaf across the sand) that makes the Caribbean special. - Guest Comments 2007

Have you ever dreamed of getting away from it all and escaping to a deserted island? The Meridian Club on Pine Cay may be your answer. (It was for me!) It is a throw back in time and the perfect place to unwind. It may not be deserted but you'll find a pristine 2 mile beach with no one on it! The waters are cystal clear and the ambiance is like being at someones home. - Guest Comments 2007
