Affordable Caribbean: Turks and Caicos

By STEVEN McELROY

Tourism is booming on Providenciales, the most popular of the Turks and Caicos Islands. Condos and luxury hotels now pepper the skyline along its northeastern coast.

But as Provo, as the island is better known, gets more popular, it also gets pricier, so finding deals is a challenge. (The U.S. dollar is the official currency.) Still, a few bargains remain in the tourist epicenter around the beautiful Grace Bay Beach.

And those willing to travel a bit farther from the shoreline, will find even more.
