Providenciales, Turks and Caicos Islands: Famed Beaches and 350 Days of Sunshine Annually

Providenciales—or “Provo,” as the locals call it—is the largest tourist destination on the 40 islands and cays that make up Turks and Caicos. It’s no wonder the area is popular, given its white-sand beaches, turquoise waters, and 350 days of sunshine per year. In 2012, the World Travel Awards recognized the island’s Grace Bay Beach as the Caribbean’s best, a distinction it had also won in 2007, 2008, and 2010.

Provo is ideal for snorkeling and scuba—a natural reef helps keep both waves and debris away, leaving the surf smooth and gentle. The water stays warm year-round and has outstanding visibility, so it’s easy to spot the tropical fish, sea turtles, and enormous walls of coral below the surface. Brave snorkelers and scuba divers can head to Northwest Point, where it’s common to see reef and hammerhead sharks mingling with rays.
