Belford Town is situated on the west coast of Middle Caicos and is surrounded by mangroves, salt marshes and shallow beaches, making it an excellent place to observe bird and marine life. The island has an abundance of wildlife, including flamingos and a variety of sea turtles, and nearby coral reefs offer snorkeling and diving enthusiasts an abundance of underwater scenery.

The town of Balfour has retained its traditional handcrafted boat building skills and visitors can experience the original island culture. The annual summer Fishing Festival is an important community event, showcasing local seafood cuisine and music and dance.
