Washing Off the Sand & Salt

There is no worse feeling than walking around with caked on sand on your feet or sand in your suit. There are several areas with outdoor shower type faucets to rinse off your body and feet in the beach area. The restrooms on Grand Turk also come equipped with such faucets and seperate changing areas. Washing off the sand and salt makes you feel less grungy when wandering around the cruise cenetr area.

One of our favorite things about crusing is the towel animals left by the stateroom attendants. This particular night it was a bat. It was quite interesting and one we hadn't seen before.

The U.S. Dollar is the official currency of the island so no need to worry about exchanging money if you are American.
