Turks and Caicos pivots around Grace Bay's continuous strip of pale sand, with shipwreck diving off Salt Cay's whales, the JoJo wild dolphin off Provo, and the country's most exclusive resorts on Parrot Cay.
Dry season, humpback whales calving off Salt Cay February-April, and Grace Bay at peak with Christmas through Easter at maximum demand.
Sea calmest for snorkelling and diving, rates dropping sharply after Easter, and the Conch Festival in late November aside, summer goes quiet.
Hurricane season peaks September. Rates lowest of the year and many smaller resorts close. Provo airport remains operational.
Hurricane risk fading, Conch Festival the last weekend of November in Blue Hills, and high-season buildup beginning at the Provo resorts.
