For many years this has been voted the best beach, not only in the Caribbean, but in the world. The crystal clear turquoise waters of the Turks and Caicos Islands are something to behold and are an absolute pleasure to bathe in.
Whilst I traveled around the island, I was amazed at the sheer blueness of the surrounding ocean. In some parts it was so intensely blue that it made the clouds blue also!. Curious as to why this was, I later found out that this region has a very low concentration of phytoplankton which is a form of algae that contains chlorophyll, the same pigment that gives plants their green hue. Less phytoplankton equals more blue sea and more of them gives the sea a greenish tinge.
