Hey All,

 

Does anyone know a website which will you tell you the water temp/ temperature in mid July?

 

Also - Any good tips/snorkeling spots?

 

Thanks in advance!

I don't know of any web sites, but last July, when we were there on July 13th, the water was in the upper, upper 80s, quite delightful. You can stay in it for a long time, without any need for a wet suit. I wore a athletic shirt, but that was for, protection from the sun, not warmth.

NJ04SS We'll be there the first week in July and have a golf cart reserved. We will be driving around and trying different beaches. I'll report back. Look for rocky, or dark spots in the water. The fish like to have places to hide. Sandy bottom=poor snorkeling. Here's a link to some info on beach snorkeling

Not really any good snorkeling anywhere near the cruise terminal from the beach. If you want good snorkeling...get out on one of the boat snorkeling tours and you will be very happy :D

 

water temp in GT year round is warm...high 70's to mid 80's. July air temp....hot and humid usually

NJ04SS Reporting back: Sorry, didn't snorkel in Grand Turk. Had too much fun on the golf cart.

NJ we are doing the golf cart in September. Is there any place special that you went or any special route that you took?

How much are these golf cart rentals? What sort of ID would you need to show them to rent one? TY

Ours was 80.00 for the day for four of us. We rented them last year and they never even asked for any ID. I would have your drivers license just in case.
