When traveling to places where accessibility can be questionable, purchase and carry a light weight, foldable “suitcase ramp”. Great for those places that have a couple of annoying steps. The ramp fits nicely in a large skateboard backpack, or hiking backpack, and can be carried by a companion traveler. The ramp is also easy to check at the airport.
Grand Turks is a small, seven mile long Cay, lined with white, powdery sand beaches. Cockburn Town is the capital of the Turks and Caicos Islands, and is located on Grand Turks. Currently, there are no accessible modes of transportation available, so even though the island is small, it is limited for wheelchair access. One way for the disabled to access this island is via boat or cruise ship, but beware that adventuring beyond the beach and shops at the port will be difficult if transfer from a chair into a vehicle is not possible.
