South Caicos is 22 miles across the Columbus Passage from Grand Turk.  It is 8.5 square miles in size and is known for it’s fishing and diving. The Spiny Lobster and Queen Conch have been the main exports. It was the largest salt producer from about 1670 to 1964.  700 acres of the land was sold here on South Caicos and new owners are planning a development called Bell Sound Estates   

Work has now started on the new $4 million dollar international airport terminal in South Caicos. Residents in the island turned out to the ground breaking ceremony which promises to return this island, once known as Big South to its glorious past with the advent of more commerce, tourism and industy.
