Turks and Caicos

[Sea Dangles]

Not really looking for a secluded,undiscovered hotspot and fishing is certainly secondary. Just want an oceanfront resort with watersport activities and hopefully a direct flight from Boston. I have a friend who swears by St John. We usually go to Aruba but was hoping for something different. I was told direct flights are available to T&C which is huge for the family.

What zimmy said. You can get some great deals on vrbo.com for villas to rent. But you will most likely be up in the hills, which are beautiful. Just know you probably won't be "on the water."

Chris, if you are used to Aruba, just know that both St. John and T&C are the complete opposite. Aruba has a lot more going on, but it's hard to beat the beauty of the other two places you're looking into.

There were direct flights to T&C 15 years ago when I went, when it was still a little under the radar, so I'm sure they still have them now. Enjoy, whatever you do!

dangles, we stay at the westin st john, on the beach, but the beach is man made. Less that 10 mins on a beautiful ride is Trunk Bay, Hawksnets beach. We rent a jeep. I cant tell you how beautful and secluded it is. We've been on beaches and had the entire beach to ourselves. I have pics of giant tarpon and permit 20 yards offshore while snorkeling. Its amazing. My family commited to going there every 3 yrs if the budget allows. I cant imagine a nicer place in the world. I leave again in 18 days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
