Geography

North Caicos has an area of 116.4 km2 within the high water mark, and of 207.1 km2 within the shoreline. The difference between the two values is not accounted for as land area. Sights on or near the island include Cottage Pond, Wade's Green Plantation, Flamingo Pond Overlook, and the tiny Three Marys Cays (0.64 ha) approximately 20 metres off the northwestern shore.

Together with Parrot Cay (4.9 km2), and Bay Cay off the eastern shore (at 12.9 km2 the sixth-largest island of the territory) and a few more uninhabited offshore cays, it forms the North Caicos District, with an area of 144.9 km2.
