Some experts estimate the beautiful yet treacherous reefs around Grand Turk may have claimed nearly 1,000 ships although few remain today. This rusted cargo ship, the Mega One Triton, washed ashore during Hurricane Sandy in 2012. The eyesore mars the otherwise pristine sand of Governor’s Beach, so named because the governor’s residence (Waterloo) is only a few steps away. This gorgeous beach shaded by casuarina trees is about a mile from the cruise dock and typically far less crowded.
