Salt Cay Attractions 
At one time the world's largest producer of salt, historic Salt Cay a 2.5sq.mi/6.5sq.km island was the center of the Bermudian salt industry, the mainstay of the Turks and Caicos economy from the late 1600's until the early 1960's.
Declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, Salt Cay is a time capsule from the days "when Salt was king". Donkeys, wild cattle and iguanas far outnumber the 125 human inhabitants.

Balfour, Turks and Caicos Islands
Balfour Town boasts several old two-story homes with wide verandas and jalousied windows. What little development there is on Salt Cay is found here. There are small hotels and a few stores that sell hand-woven baskets, T-shirts, convenience foods, and beach items.
Balfour - The White House
Splendidly preserved White House, a stately salt-merchant's manor built in 1835 with ballast stone and furnished with antiques is the most noteworthy attraction in Balfour.
Balfour - Treasury Building
The Treasury Building is where the Salt Cay's salt-workers once collected their pay.
Whale Watching
North Atlantic Humpback Whales are seen around the islands of Grand Turk and Salt Cay during the months of late January through early April. These magnificent creatures pass by as part or their annual migration. The underwater songs of the whales can be heard during whale watching tours.
