"Get an up-close look at one of the Turks and Caicos Islands’ most popular local delicacies with a visit to the Caicos Conch Farm, on the east end of Providenciales. Queen conch are large marine snails prized for both their beautiful pink shells and their delicate meat, which is used in a variety of local dishes from fritters to a ceviche-like salad. The farm raises the shellfish sustainably in ocean pens, and visitors can see the creatures at various stages of their life cycle. There’s also a hands-on experience with a pair of resident conch, and the gift shop sells conch pearls, as well as jewelry and other items made from conch shells."

The only farm raised conch in the world. Learned a lot more about these cute and tasty creatures than I thought possible. Incredibly informative as well. They're currently expanding into farming other fish. A rather unique experience for those interested in how this local cuisine get exported all over the world.

It is closed and a missed opportunity for locals and maritime education for visitors.

Nice place to visit. The guide was very good, showing real knowledge about the farm and conchs. A pity that the place is so run down.

We stopped here as part of our Concha Woncha tour. It was a great learning experience to see the Conch as they progress and grow. We also got to see some of the fish they farm as well. Our tour last about an hour.

Tremendous idea and a fun visit. It's not a long visit , maybe 30 minutes, but to pet the conches that are there and learn about their life cycle was neat. Good vacation photos too. I'm happy to say I visited a conch farm.

Quick, cheap, great location and a learning experience. It's $12/person for the tour which lasts about 25-30 min. The guides are very sweet and knowledgeable. And after the tour you can walk right next door to the TCI ferry terminal and take a ferry to one of the other islands.

This place was heavily damaged by the hurricane. They are currently closed and are in the planning stages of rebuilding. I would have given them 5 stars, simply for their conservation efforts, but their website has not been updated and still says they are open.
