    We walked down to Jack's shack when we were there. You get a free shot of Rum if you sign up on the website for it. The beach was basically empty down there and we did notice it was a lot clearer and the sand was like powder. I highly recommend that you guys walk down there. I think it was like $15 for them to set up 2 chairs and an umbrella for you. MAKE SURE YOU WEAR SUNSCREEN and reapply! I wore sunscreen and forgot to reapply and got scorched! The sun here is very extremem compared to the US. They also had horseback rides along the beach. The walk to Jack's shack was an easy walk along the beach, even with my knee issues and worth the walk to get away from the crowd near the ship. Next time we hope to explore the right side of the island first, as we never made it there. Lot's of freebies and raffles in the shops there. Beautiful Tanzanite jewelry if you are looking for that. Get your ship's shopping guide to help you with bargains. This is my favorite port thus far besides Carnival's private island of Half Moon Cay. I love your videos by the way! You give a lot more info then other reviewers as to what is free and walkable, which is what we look for in a cruise. Thank you.

We had a great time with them there. Had a Hugh stingray swim right by me there. And the Topher and calypso are fun to watch. So if you want a peaceful day at the beach ,it's worth the walk.

    Our #1, most, most amazing excursion ever was in Grand Turk! We did it with a local company and got to snorkel, conch dive, and see stingrays at Gibbs Cay. It is truly one of our best moments in our life! The company took us by boat to different snorkeling spots that progressively got deeper. Then we snorkeled the "Amazing Wall". You can google it and see what it is! It drops 7,000 feet and is truly so amazing! Let me know if you want any information. Dee, I LOVE snorkeling like you do, and this one was so exciting! We went back to Grand Turk this past December 2021 and were the first ship back after Covid! But we had a shorter day (only 5 hours) and they weren't booking local excursions yet, so we just did a free beach day there this time. But I can't wait to go back and do the snorkeling tour again. I have the most amazing photos from that day!
