Oasis at grace bay
Activities
The Caribbean offers a unique playing field for international golfers and hosts world champions.
The clear, clean waters around Turks and Caicos have earned this destination top marks for stellar scuba diving and bone fishing. The currents aren’t strong and the water is wonderfully warm. With plenty of visibility, divers can explore ancient shipwrecks, look for artifacts, and see a fascinating array of marine life.
When the wind blows from the north or northeast, Grace Bay becomes the favorite site of expert kiters. There are waves on the reef one kilometer from shore and choppy conditions on the other side of the reef.
Providenciales is the center for the Turks and Caicos’ excellent sport fishing. For a big catch, you need a fast, sleek boat to seek out some of the largest, fastest fish, including kingfish and wahoo. Find a boat with a local guide on board who knows the best places for sport fishing. Some of the top spots include South Caicos and the more remote areas around North, Middle and East Caicos.
Turks and Caicos has something to please the fussiest foodies. Enjoy an array of international cuisine in the local restaurants, stroll to the market and pick up some local specialities and feast on fresh-caught conches on the beach. Bon appétit!
If you need a little more action than lying on the beach, our guest services can arrange for a variety of excursions to explore our idyllic waters. Charter a boat and a guide, snorkel with sea turtles and or scuba dive through coral reefs–the third largest in the world–, enjoy a romantic picnic on a nearby island or follow in the footsteps of pirates in a hidden cay. Adventure awaits!
If the Turks and Caicos have a mascot, it has to be Jojo, a male Atlantic bottlenose dolphin who formed an unconventional friendship with a human, Dean Bernal. In Grace Bay, you might catch a glimpse of Jojo following boats or frolicking with divers, especially around the Cathedral dive site.
Get directionsJump in a kayak and paddle the short distance (456 meters) to Little Water Cay, nicknamed Iguana Island for the island’s residents: the few remaining rock iguanas that used to inhabit the Turks and Caicos.
Get directionsCheshire Hall is one of the key historic attractions on Providenciales. The 200 year-old ruins of this former cotton plantation are striking against the backdrop of modern-day Provo, as the island is known locally. The building ruins have been carefully preserved by the National Trust and offer spectacular views of the island. (Can be visited as part of a motorized day trip)
