This coastal trail, dating back to the days of the Lucayan Indians, will allow you to hike or bike to many of Middle Caicos' most alluring sites. See the Flamingo Pond and the dramatic limestone bluffs of Mudjin Harbour, or take a detour to Indian Caves. The entire trail can be walked in less than five hours; but visitors who have learned to enjoy the relaxed pace of the islands will appreciate the sights more by breaking up this tour over a couple of days. The island's seldom-visited shores are great for simple pleasures such as collecting shells. The CPT Hiking Trail extends from Conch Bar to a point just beyond Blowing Hole, then west to the Crossing Place. The trail varies in difficulty as it traverses ironshore coastal ridge, old inland roadway, or sections of the beach and tracks approximately 4.5 miles. A car park has been established near Norbellis Cove to facilitate those who prefer a shorter hike.
Based on an average walking rate of 2 miles/hour, a minimum of 4.5 hours is needed to complete the trail. Portions of the path are rugged ironshore and sand, requiring greater skill and stamina than needed on a leisurely walk and the breathtaking views and deserted beaches demand that one stops and spends some time. To complete the entire trail, a full day is suggested. Options include embarking on the trail at different intervals, such as hiking from Conch Bar with a pickup at Indian Cave or Mudjin Harbour, or strolling from Norbellis Cove down to the Blowing Hole and back. Tour packages can be customized to suit anyone’s preferences to include hiking and biking. (close)
