Food and Shopping

As previously mentioned, most of the restaurant hotels on the Turks and Caicos Islands offer meals that are both amazingly fresh and incredibly tasty, but these restaurants generally have limited hours for lunch and/or dinner. For those of you who need access to food more often than just at mealtimes (you know who you are) - or for those of you who are not seafood fanatics - you may wish to take a taxi to the local grocery store and bring back some "supplies." Most hotels that provide rooms with full kitchens will have regularly-scheduled taxi service every day to the local grocery mart. This is a fun trip even if you don't need any food supplies, just to see all the local delicacies, fresh native fruits, and different international foods that are offered.

When you go out on day trips for touring excursions, be prepared to be fed whatever seafood the crew will be able to catch that day. Usually this is fresh conch, so if you do not particularly have a taste for such things (though for most people this is the highlight of the excursion), make sure to bring some snacks with you in a water-proof bag.
