What can I bring with me?
Informality is the watchword. You’ll need a hat, sunscreen, your gear, books, bathing suits, shirts, shorts, and cash. Bring sturdy shoes and long pants if you plan to hike in the bush. Salt Cay has the least amount of rain, therefore the least amount of bugs of anywhere in the Turks & Caicos Islands. However, it’s still a good idea to bring bug spray as it is not sold in the local stores.
We have a few stores on island but they are very basic so yes, you can bring a cooler with cheese, fruits, vegetables and meats – just tell customs it’s for personal use!
We have no ATMs or banks, you will need to bring cash for small purchases in the local stores. Restaurants and stores on Salt Cay do not accept credit/debit cards.
