Cockburn Harbor, the quaint downtown section of South Caicos, is home to most of the island’s 1,200 current residents. The village is a quiet community of Caribbean-inspired homes, most of which are surrounded by short stone walls. The waterfront along the harbor is mostly undeveloped.
The government of Turks and Caicos has made a meaningful commitment to the island of South Caicos to further improve its infrastructure and accessibility. $10 million has been allocated for these improvements, many of which are already in progress.
