Bambarra Beach Turks and Caicos has officially taken the spotlight as the #1 Best Beach in the Caribbean for 2025, according to USA Today’s 10 Best Readers’ Choice Awards. This is a huge leap from last year, when Bambarra ranked #2, while the world-renowned Grace Bay Beach in Providenciales slid to #10 in the same list.
The Minister of Tourism, Hon. Josephine Connolly, called the news “heartwarming,” emphasizing the value of highlighting the Turks and Caicos Islands as a multi-island destination.
“The fact that we have two beaches in that top ten list reaffirms the Turks and Caicos Islands’ reputation for having a variety of beautiful beaches,” said Connolly.
Where is Bambarra Beach?
Bambarra Beach is located on Middle Caicos, the largest island in the Turks and Caicos chain by land area. Despite its size, Middle Caicos remains beautifully unspoiled and offers an escape from the more tourist-heavy islands.
Why Bambarra Beach Stands Out
What makes Bambarra Beach the crown jewel of Caribbean coastlines?
According to USA Today:
“Bambarra Beach, situated on Middle Caicos, seems to stretch on forever. What this secluded beach lacks in the amenities one might expect from a resort-side Caribbean beach, it makes up for with its calm, clear, warm water, and plenty of room to spread out and relax.”
This beach is a haven for visitors looking for:
- Calm, shallow waters ideal for swimming and wading
- Soft, white sand perfect for sunbathing
- A serene, uncrowded atmosphere
Tourism Impact and Local Praise
The Department of Environment & Coastal Resources (DECR) has welcomed the award as a positive sign for their ongoing efforts to enhance the visitor experience while protecting the region’s fragile ecosystems.
“The DECR is happy to see the recognition of Bambarra Beach on the world stage,” said Luc Clerveaux, Director of DECR.
This spotlight will likely boost sustainable tourism and investment on Middle Caicos — great news for eco-conscious travelers and real estate investors alike.
Things to Do Around Bambarra Beach
While Bambarra Beach is perfect for lounging and soaking up nature, Middle Caicos has more to explore:
- Mudjin Harbor – One of the most dramatic and scenic coastlines in the Caribbean
- Conch Bar Caves – The largest cave system in the Bahamas-Turks and Caicos island chain
- Local eateries – Savor fresh seafood and authentic island cuisine
- Cultural sites – Learn about the Lucayan people and the island’s history
For property investors or visitors looking to buy vacation homes, this quieter region offers value and potential.
Grace Bay: Another Gem in Turks and Caicos
While Bambarra Beach Turks and Caicos now holds the top spot, Grace Bay Beach is still a global favorite, securing the #10 Best Beach spot in 2025. Located on Providenciales, Grace Bay is known for luxury resorts, turquoise waters, and world-class snorkeling.
