City overview
The Turks & Caicos Islands are a British Overseas Territory of about forty islands and cays at the southeastern end of the Bahamian chain, best known for Grace Bay Beach on Providenciales and for the reef that runs the length of the archipelago. Providenciales holds almost all of the country's resorts, restaurants and shopping, while Grand Turk, North, Middle and South Caicos and Salt Cay stay quiet and largely undeveloped. Jewish life in the country is young and centres entirely on Providenciales: Chabad of Turks & Caicos Islands, founded by Rabbi Shmulik and Chaya Berkowitz at the end of 2019, is the only Jewish congregation anywhere in the islands. The resident community is small and expatriate, and it swells through the winter season with second-home owners and visitors. Kosher food on the island is limited but real, and everything Jewish sits within the Grace Bay area.
Graceway IGA
Turks & Caicos · $$
It carries kosher-certified products alongside everything else, and nothing on its shelves, in its deli, bakery or prepared-food counters is under kosher supervision.
Graceway IGA is a general supermarket, not a kosher store. Check the certification on each individual package before buying.

Walking
On Leeward Highway rather than in the Grace Bay strip, so a car or taxi is needed from most hotels.
Good to know
Look for kosher symbols on American packaged goods: cereals, crackers, biscuits and cookies, canned fish including tuna and salmon, pasta and rice, jarred sauces, snacks, nuts and dried fruit, juices and soft drinks, coffee and tea, oils, condiments, and packaged bakery goods. There are no cholov yisroel products anywhere in the country. Anything requiring reliable fresh kosher meat, poultry, dairy or bakery should be ordered from Chabad or shipped in ahead of your trip.
