Although less than 10% of the island’s population is Methodists, they have one of the prettiest churches on Grand Turk. This white-washed façade with red-roof accents was built in 1930 along the shoreline of the Red Salina, a salt pan in Cockburn Town. It replaced an earlier church destroyed during “The Hurricane of the Century” in 1926. The category 4 event had winds of 150 MPH while dropping 10 inches of rain. The island is the victim of a major hurricane (sustained winds over 100 MPH) about every seven years.
