One of my favorite cruise ports, because it's simply shopping and a public beach as soon as you exit the ship. The beach is quite rocky but beautiful. You can do without water shoes, but I prefer to wear them. The craft area shopping is nice, not pushy like other ports. The people of Grand Turk are kind and ready to help. I've been 3 times in a year, and it's still just so beautiful to look at the drop off at the wall. Go to a higher deck on your ship for a gorgeous view! We try to be off the ship early to have less people on the beach. Highly recommend!

Very beautiful Island. Went in July 2024 on a cruise and the island has an amazing beach with tons of activities to do on the island. The sand very soft and feels great on your feet. There is a good amount of stores and food places to go and everything is walkable. Would definitely come back for sure.

Just have a look at the color of the water. Beautiful clear and warm water, blue skies, and white sand beach. Nothing else you could ask for to enjoy this beautiful place. I have really beautiful memory from this place.

Took a semi-submarine tour booked with Carnival. the boat ride to and from was windy and we all got wet. The time in semi-submarine was pretty short, but since there are not much more than the few species to see, the time is sufficient. The port is beautiful and there is a Margaritaville and swimming pool.

Gran Turk is a beautiful island! A great place to relax and have fun to
There are plenty of activities and the beaches are amazing. The sand is really soft and feels great to walk on, and the weather is great year round as well!

It was a decent place to visit. We rented a gulf cart and explored the Island had a lot of fun. Stay away from the Margaritaville worst Margaritaville I’ve ever been to!

Lovely place to visit. Have a swim or lay on the sandy beach, because it's all right next to the port.
Shops and bars are right on your doorstep, but they are not cheap ($30 for a t-shirt) ($6 for a fridge magnet, minimum, some charge $18)
If you are wheelchair bound, you are limited to the port shops only, everywhere else is sandy.
