Ever since Turks and Caicos reopened its crystalline waters to travelers on July 22 I’d been dreaming of the opportunity to dip my toes on the powdery sand of Grace Bay Beach. Its brilliant turquoise ocean water is perhaps one of my favorite beaches in the world, and as I sought destinations to travel to where I didn’t have to spend a lot of time on a plane (Turks and Caicos is a 3.5-hour plane ride from New York and about two hours from Miami), while also social distancing, so this quickly became top of mind.
