Covering some 48 square miles, Middle Caicos is the largest island lake billy chinook camping in the Caicos group and, with a population of only 300, it s also the least developed. But it s one of the most interesting of the islands at least, as far as historians and archeologists are concerned. There are 38 pre-Columbian Lucayan Indian sites on the island. The locals are welcoming and love to see visitors. This wild and remote land has towering lake billy chinook camping limestone cliffs and undiscovered stretches of white, sandy shore. There are huge caves in the limestone with crystal clear lakes, stalagmites and stalactites, to explore. The islanders live in three tiny communities Conch Bar, Lorimers and Bambarra, lake billy chinook camping each barely more than collections of small, primitive dwellings and there are a number of run-down, outlying farms. To enjoy a vacation here you ll need to be able to leave everything behind. There s rarely an in-room TV, and telephones are few and far between.

What you can expect, though, are some fine beaches, a getaway beyond your imagination, and quiet times under blue skies and a hot, tropical sun.

The weather is sometimes wild, but not for long. The gentle sea breezes, the hot sun, and those great stretches of shallow, emerald water bounded by blinding white strips of sand are irresistible.
