South Caicos Restaurants & Dining
South Caicos doesn’t have many restaurants, yet for its small size, the dining choices are varied and excellent. The largest selection of cuisines and restaurants can be found at the island's two luxury resorts.
A favorite Cockburn Harbour establishment is Sunset Café & Bar, which offers local cuisine and seafood dishes. For gourmet dining, the Great House Restaurant at Sailrock offers Caribbean and international fusion cuisine.
The Ocean & Beach Resort at Tucker Hill also has an in-house restaurant that serves local fare and pub and grill food. Its outdoor patio faces the Admiral Cockburn National Park and Long Cay, and the range of blue and turquoise ocean hues of this coastal region is breathtaking.
Fresh Seafood
South Caicos is the capital of the small-scale fishing industry in the Turks and Caicos Islands, and as such, local seafood plays an important part in the island’s cuisine.
Fresh seafood such as conch, lobster, snapper, grouper, wahoo, and mahi-mahi are brought in fresh almost every day, and are caught in some of the cleanest waters in the tropical Atlantic Ocean. The quality and difference in taste of the fresh seafood is unmistakable.
If you’re visiting South Caicos for the excellent sport fishing, one of the island’s restaurants may be able to prepare your catch.
Reservations and Opening Times
As relatively few visitors make it to South Caicos, the island’s restaurants may not keep regular hours. It's highly recommended that you make dinner reservations well in advance.
Some restaurants in the Turks and Caicos may close on certain days of the week or during the late summer and autumn Atlantic hurricane season. If you’re visiting South Caicos on a day trip from Providenciales, establishments are often able to accommodate your schedule if contacted in advance, especially for parties of two or more people.
Likewise, the resort restaurants are usually able to cater to dietary requests if given appropriate notice.
Prepared and packed lunches are available from many local restaurants upon request.
Groceries
Many of the island’s accommodations feature kitchenettes or full kitchens, so it’s an option to prepare your own meals during your stay.
South Caicos supports three small grocery stores, which stock a range of basic dry goods, produce, and frozen meat and poultry. The selection of fresh vegetables and specialty or gourmet items is quite limited, so you may want to consider bringing over supplies from one of the larger Providenciales grocery stores when connecting to South Caicos.
If you’re simply visiting South Caicos on a day trip, the island’s shops are great for cold drinks and snacks.
