Discover Providenciales

Providenciales in Turks and Caicos offers some of the clearest waters in the world. We recommend taking a boat tour to explore the islands or snorkeling in the vibrant coral reefs. Paddleboarding along the coast is a great way to experience the beauty of this tropical paradise, with calm waters and stunning beaches.

Best things to do in Providenciales

Relax on Grace Bay Beach, often considered one of the best beaches in the world, with its white sand and turquoise waters. Visit the nearby Chalk Sound National Park, where you can kayak or paddleboard on the calm, clear lagoon. The island is also known for its luxury resorts, golf courses, and beautiful coral reefs. A visit to the conch farm or a day trip to the nearby island of Parrot Cay for more secluded beaches is also highly recommended.

Getting around in Providenciales

Providenciales, part of the Turks & Caicos Islands, is best explored by renting a car, as many of the beaches, restaurants, and attractions are spread out across the island. Taxis and shuttles are also available, but having a car offers more flexibility.
