Providenciales, known as Provo, in the west of the archipelago is the island chain’s gateway and the most developed island in Turks & Caicos, home to expansive Grace Bay Beach, with its luxury resorts, shops and restaurants.
Provo’s north shore near Grace Bay offers the most beautiful beaches in Turks & Caicos and a long coral reef
Diving is popular from Provo and dive sites include a 14-mile barrier reef on Provo’s north shore and a dramatic 2,134 metre underwater wall off Grand Turk island.
In the south of Providenciales is Chalk Sound, a large lake with striking turquoise water and an array of untouched and off-the-beaten-track small cays.
