Safety in Turks and Caicos Islands
Turks and Caicos Islands is tourist-friendly but has some key cultural and legal rules:
Avoid isolated areas, especially at night, to reduce your risk of opportunistic crime like muggings.
Take care when using ATMs and do not carry large amounts of cash or valuables.
Always confirm the fare with the driver before starting a journey in a taxi.
Do not become involved with drugs of any kind, as possession can lead to large fines and imprisonment.
Take care when driving as livestock often wander onto roads and street lighting is limited, especially at night.
Bonus tips:
Keep your passport in a hotel or villa safe if possible, as you cannot get a replacement locally.
Make sure safety equipment looks to be in good condition and oxygen is available on the boat if you go scuba diving.
