If you are here on a tour, you'll probably spend some time at
Mudjin Harbour
, a short drive east of the caves. It's a dramatic setting with tall
cliffs dropping down to the sea, a rocky promontory just offshore
and waves often crashing onto a yellow-sand beach. As you go down to
the beach there's a short trail off to the left that leads to the
top of the cliff where you'll have fantastic views down the coast
and across the scrubby, undeveloped interior of the island.

Continuing further east, Lorimers - named for a local plantation owner - is one of the most remote settlements in the country, though there's little here of for visitors. The high point in the island's calendar is Middle Caicos Expo , a great weekend party in August during which former residents return and others flood in to hear live bands and hang out at the beer tents set up on Bambarra beach.

One of the main draws in Middle Caicos is a series of limestone
caves at Conch Bar. Formed over millennia by the action of water
on the soft rock, the extensive network was once the home to Lucayan
Indians, almost certainly here at the time of Columbus, and various
of their artifacts - including tools and pottery - have been removed
to the National Museum in Grand Turk. Tours of the caves need to be
arranged in advance, either through a tour company in Provo or by
booking a tour with one of the Middle Caicos taxi drivers. Try
