Bambarra Beach in Middle Caicos, joins Grace Bay Beach as an award-winning beach with USA Today’s 10Best Reader’s Choice, #2 Best Beach in the Caribbean, today!

This is a tremendous win and award for the people of Middle Caicos and the Turks and Caicos Islands Archipelago and supports the strategic direction of Experience Turks and Caicos to promote the Turks and Caicos Islands as a premiere multi-island destination, with each island having its unique flavour and immersive experiences. 
Middle Caicos is the heartland of Turks and Caicos Islands’ culture, where traditional straw craft and fanner grass basketry, native sloop building, and model sailboat carving/racing is practiced. The island has three small friendly villages, Conch Bar, Bambarra, and Lorimers with a population of around 200 people.  Middle Caicos is known for its natural beauty and majestic coastline like no other island in the Archipelago.
As the name suggests, Middle Caicos is in the center of the Caicos Islands archipelago.  A causeway connects the island to the adjacent North Caicos, which makes island hopping an ease and charm.  Bambarra Beach fronts the small historical settlement of Bambarra, which has stood since the days of the Colonial Plantations in the late 1700s.
A day trip or twin island vacation to Middle Caicos includes captivating “Off the Beaten Track” experiences such as catching sight of the magnificent Pink Flamingos from the Flamingo Pond Overlook or taking a short hike above Mudjin Harbour Beach to capture the majestic view from atop the open-face cave that provides scenic shelter below on the white-sand beach. At the nearby Mudjin Grill, the onsite restaurant for the secluded Dragon Cay Resort, you can savour local culinary delights while watching the gentle ocean swells and inhaling the relaxing sea breeze.
On your way to or back from Middle Caicos is North Caicos, the lushest of all the islands thanks to the abundant rainfall, you can enjoy one-of-a-kind experiences such as exploring Conch Bar Caves, one of the largest dry cave systems in the Caribbean, Indian Caves, a large single gallery cave system or Wade’s Green Plantation.
Minister of Tourism, the Honourable Josephine Connolly, expressed her delight at Bambarra Beach’s recognition, emphasising the strategic marketing and promotion of Experience Turks and Caicos.  “We have been promoting the Turks and Caicos Islands as a multi-island destination, encouraging visitors to explore beyond Providenciales.
