Club and its small cadre of homeowners and seasonal residents, is a
private cay with miles of nature trails and pristine beaches good for
shelling and searching for sand dollars.
Scattered with beaches on all sides,

Caicos Bank. The Caicos Bank, filled with an abundant resource of conch
and lobster, is a shallow, pale turquoise sea and is partly composed
of swamps and tidal flats.
Provo, as it is commonly known,
is home to the only Conch Farm in the world which takes five years to
grow to adult life.
Salt Cay possesses quiet bays with beaches excellent for swimming,
snorkeling and beach combing offering a complete relaxed atmosphere
because of its charm and tranquility.
South Caicos known for its excellent scuba diving, deep sea
and bone fishing, has the most protected and finest natural harbour.
Also known as the "East Harbour', 'The Big South', and 'The Rock'. South
Caicos is home to the boiling Hole, herds of wild horses and cows, flocks
of flamingos, opsrey and pelicans. In the waters around the island there
exists dolphins, manta rays, eagle rays, giant groupers, turtles, sharks
and humpback migrating whales.
The islands comprise mostly black descendants from early Bermudans,
Loyalists and slave settlers and salt rakers dating back 300 years.
The immigrant population consists mostly of Haitians and Dominicans,
though there are many residents from around the world as well.
