best places to visit in Turks and Caicos Islands
Grace Bay
Stretching for more than eight kilometers, Grace Bay is one of the best beaches in the Caribbean. Powdery sand meets crystal-clear water in striking shades of blue along this exquisite slice of coast, and coral reefs shimmer just offshore. Sunbathing, swimming, and snorkeling along this beach are among the top things to do in Providenciales.
Grace Bay Beach is part of the Princess Alexandra Marine Park, and snorkelers can view the rich marine life at The Bight Reef and Smith’s Reef in the underwater park. Best of all, you can easily access them both from shore.
The bay is also the playground of “JoJo” the wild bottlenose dolphin, who has been known to interact with surprised swimmers – the Turks and Caicos Islands Government declared this friendly mammal a national treasure.
Chalk Sound National Park
An eye-popping shade of turquoise, Chalk Sound is a beautiful lagoon with limestone deposits separated from the ocean by a thin stretch of sand. About a 20- to 30-minute drive away from Grace Bay, the area is a beautiful place to take photographs. Sprinkled throughout the sparkling waters are tiny green-topped rock islands, which are home to many iguanas.
You can rent kayaks or stand up paddleboards to explore the clear waters or hop aboard a pontoon cruise.
