Peace and privacy at a Caribbean beach aren’t hard to find when you visit Governor’s Beach Grand Turks, Turks and Caicos.
如果你是一個 巡航 ship passenger to the Caribbean, it’s tough at times to find a spot on a beautiful beach with space to breathe. With thousands of people from multiple cruise ships converging onto a single island, real estate on the sand with some shade often comes at a premium price.
我討厭在海灘上閒逛，人們閒逛在離我幾英寸的地方。我需要我的個人空間來放鬆。
There are two options on the island of Grand Turk for cruise ship passengers looking for free lounge chairs with access to crystal clear turquoise water and shade that’s close to the port.

如果您問我是否正在尋找理想的大特克海灘景點，那麼做出決定並不難。
如果您是Calculated Traveler的常規讀者，請按照我們的 加勒比海 進行海灘冒險，那麼您就會知道，我們通常會沿著當地路線行駛，選擇乘坐當地巴士或步行，以尋求海灘上一片寧靜地區的和平與隔離。
At Governor’s Beach we spent the majority of our time with less than ten people nearby, and for the most part, no one stuck around but merely passed through. We never once felt unsafe, as there were a few local families in our midst, we could see boats in the water, and horseback-riding tours rode by. Be aware though that there are no lounge chairs, umbrellas or attractions here – you’ll need to come prepared.
這是從遊輪港前往總督海灘的方法
穿過遊輪碼頭的商店到達出租車區（朝著哈雷戴維森或瑪格麗塔維爾）。您會看到一個小的粉紅色的遊客問訊處和一個棕色的木結構。穿過木結構。
At this point you can hop in a taxi – cost is $4US/person each way. Ensure you have exact change and arrange a pickup time for your return as very few taxis stop at the beach.
I also heard that you could rent golf carts for $50/day, but I can’t confirm where to arrange this as we didn’t investigate it, but we will on our next trip and update you here.
小費： If you plan on booking an excursion such as the popular ATV or 4×4 tours, or perhaps an island tour of the town of Cockburn, the National Museum, or the lighthouse you can ask to be dropped off at Governor’s Beach instead of back at the ship.
總督海灘距郵輪港口有多遠？
如果您希望像我們一樣走路，則步行約20分鐘即可到達總督海灘。
向左走，穿過停車場和正門。小心，因為沿著鋪好的道路行走的人行道很少。
一路上，您將經過一些舊的工業建築和油箱附近的一條未命名的道路，但要繼續前進，直到看到海關大樓。
在道路上向左轉。
Once at Governor’s Beach, you’ll see some shops, a few scattered picnic tables, restrooms, showers and of course the picturesque shipwreck.
上次訪問此海灘時，所有設施都是開放的，所有設施都處於正常狀態，但不幸的是，這次旅行沒有從照片中看到。我懷疑颶風“艾爾瑪”（Irma）造成了一些損壞，他們尚未進行維修。
大特克更新2018年2月20日
– Men’s restroom was open with running water and toilet paper
– Women’s restroom was locked
– A couple of the showers were working while the other ones were still being repaired
– The food stands were still closed and the buildings are still heavily damaged.
小費： 帶上水，午餐等
You can also see that the trees have lost quite a bit of their foliage but the water is terrific – crystal clear turquoise and shallow – and the sand is white coral. We had a lovely breeze throughout our visit and barely felt the heat of the sun.
小費： 請注意，不要像我一樣在陽光下燃燒。涼爽的海風令人誤解。
Here’s a video of the quiet solitude that we experienced at the beautiful Governor’s Beach:
Once you’ve had your fill of the shore, walk back along the road the way you came and spend some time in the shops at the cruise terminal before you return to the ship.
小費： 1962年，美國國家航空航天局友誼7號太空艙的一個小型陳列降落在巡航中心內。
特克斯和凱科斯的領土以及大特克島以其著名的海灘而聞名於世。我希望您在島上時能獲得最佳的最佳體驗和放鬆時間。
我希望您在總督海灘大特克酒店度過了寧靜的一天。
