Grand Turk Bird Observatory

Nice walk but it's pretty run down. Wouldn't take too much to clean it up and make it nice again

Bien

een vogel heeft mij lek geprikt maarja dat hoort er bij. fijne dag nog!

We really enjoyed our visit. It’s a neat little park, although not very well maintained. There are some informative signs about the environment (learn about mangroves!). There’s a walkway out over the estuary, and a walking path out to the edge of the point, with an interesting shipwreck.

Google maps doesn’t know how to get here! If you use satellite view you can see the road, but it’s otherwise unmarked. Keep driving until you can see north creek. Then continue to follow the road around to the right. Keep going until you get to a white and blue brick shelter - you’ve arrived!

You can also turn to the left instead of the right to go to a sheltered coastal area, where we came across a flock of flamingos! (It’s possibly better to walk, the road out to the beach is pretty rough. And it’s quite short!)

Writing this review because I don’t see any others and If you are visiting Grand Turk, you need to come here!! Beautiful little nature reserve with a dock and wooden lookout. Saw some jellyfish and fish, a lot of birds and neat shells to look at. We came here on a recommendation from a local and wish we had left more time to explore. We love nature and this was truly a beautiful spot. The road to get here is a bit rough, but could be done in a car or golf cart. You have to drive up and around and you may feel like you’re going the wrong way, but keep going and you’ll get there eventually. It’s well worth the trip down!
