When we got off the ship, we walked all the way down the beach to the left of the pier and found Jack’s Shack, by far the best place on the strip! The water here was much clearer, the atmosphere quieter, and it felt like a little hidden gem compared to the busier spots near the ship.
The food and drinks were incredible, honestly some of the best we had during our cruise. The conch is a must-try if you want to taste the local cuisine, and the cocktails were spot on.
We snorkeled right off the beach and were pleasantly surprised by the variety of fish we saw. Going in the morning was the perfect choice; it was calmer, quieter, and made for great snorkeling. After lunch, the beach got much busier as more people returned from excursions.
One tip: don’t be afraid to haggle for sun beds. Different vendors were charging different prices depending on the tourist, so listen to what others are paying and offer the same.
Overall, Jack’s Shack was the highlight of our Grand Turk stop: great food, perfect beach, and a laid-back vibe you won’t want to leave!
