The first thing that the 21st century cruiser does when they get off their ship is look for a wifi hot spot. If you’re arriving into Grand Turk you can consider yourself lucky because there are a few wifi options within walking distance to the cruise pier.
5 Wifi Hotspots in Grand Turk:
1. Margaritaville
As you step off the ship and turn left you can’t help but run into Jimmy Buffet’s Margaritaville. The wifi here is free but something really slow, depending on how many cruise passengers are in port.
Advice: If you use What’s App for texting, it can be a lot faster than using iMessage or Facebook Messenger.
2. Froot’s
If healthy eating is your thing, you can order a smoothie or wrap at this pier side establishment. Everything is made fresh to order; with the cuisine being their own take on American food. The wifi is free but tends to be slow because of the large amount of people usually using it.
Advice: The later in the day you go, the better stronger the wireless will be.
3. Jack’s Shack
This is probably one of the coolest places on Grand Turk for fun in the sun. Just down the beach from all the tourists and the cruise port sits this little gem of an island bar and grill. In addition to free wifi, you can relax with a drink, take a dip in the ocean, or soak in the sun on a beach chair. If you want a place to relax with a genuine island atmosphere, hit up Jack’s Shack.
Advice: The wifi is free but password protected. They will give you the password at the main bar with the purchase of anything.
4. White Sands Beach Resort
This resort is right near the cruise port as well as next to Margaritaville and has free wifi for anyone to use. You can even settle in for a meal while you’re there, or enjoy the sunshine in one of the many beach chairs.
Advice: White Sands offer day pass to cruisers and free wifi. Only a walk away from the Grand Turk Cruise Terminal. More information on location here.
5. Victoria Public Library
This historic library is a cab ride away from the port. Located in the historic centre of Cockburn, the Victoria public library is good for people who might enjoy a little more quiet, and don’t mind taking a cab. The wifi is free, and the library is located on the corner of Victoria and Front streets.
Advice: You can’t miss the little pink library. About a 10 minute cab ride from the cruise pier and free wifi.
