Luxury beach
Reviewed By Karpk503 - London, United Kingdom
Worth a visit while in Provo. I got there via a boat drop-off that included a guided tour of the Iguana Island. Make sure to go through the vegetation and through to a pristine little beach adjacent to Half Moon Bay beach on Little Water Cay. The actual Half Moon Bay beach is pristine yet there's quite a bit of boat traffic going through and lots of people getting on and off boats. There's no on-foot access to the beach from Leeward, you have to arrive by boat. Caribbean Cruisin' has affordable options to get to the beach. They're located near the TCI ferry in the easternmost Leeward.

Reviewed By morrisk135
Came to TCI with my wife to relax on the beach, but wanted to play some tennis while there. Took 6 lessons with Rey just expecting to have someone to hit around with etc. Turns out he is an incredible teacher too! Rey is high energy, passionate, fun and is able to give simple and direct feedback to improve your strokes. I made major progress in all of my strokes, forehand, one handed backhand, volley and serves. Really enjoyed learning with him. At one point, my hand got blisters from playing so much, so the next day he brought bandages, and tape and got me all set up. He came to my hotel each morning which also added to the convenience. Strongly recommended playing with him. Thanks Rey!

If you are an art enthusiast and love the ocean then you must stop in while visiting. We were very lucky to meet David the owner and photographer and he explained how he does his underwater photography and took the time to show us his equipment. I can’t even put into words how amazing his pictures look. We bought one of his turtle pictures and had it shipped back to us in the states. He even told us about where he goes on the island to take the pictures and we went snorkeling and found one of the baby turtles. Definitely one of our highlights of our trip. Susan and David M
8. South Caicos

Island in the Turks and Caicos island group best known for its fishing, yachting and scuba diving.
Reviewed By tR5765BCtheresas - San Francisco, United States
South Caicos was the perfect destination for our wedding and active, island adventure. My husband and I spent the first two days of our trip enjoying Sailrock's beaches and amenities and getting to know the property prior to our private, beach wedding. Then we spent the next week honeymooning, so we had plenty of time to run, hike, bike, snorkel, sail, and explore. The day after our wedding, we put on our running shoes and took off north out of our villa. The very north tip of the island is a must-see -- it's the most beautiful look out spot on the island. It's also possible to take a jeep or buggy most of the way, but there is some moderate hiking to get to the view spot. Jerry Camp (where Sailrock starts some of its excursions) is also a must-do, with gorgeous sand bars and an area for snorkeling along mangroves. In addition to lots of fish, there can be larger wildlife in this area (barracuda, stingrays, and smaller sharks). We rode our bikes/scooter to Jerry Camp several times during our stay and had the whole place to ourselves (it was low season/early December). The next day, we took Sailrock's bikes out for a day-long adventure, riding to the south end of the island to explore the town. South Caicos is mostly flat and about 8-square-miles, so it was generally easy riding. Note that many of the roads are unpaved. While in town, we discovered Carla's Harbour Adventures and decided to rent a scooter for the rest of our stay. This isn't a requirement since Sailrock will drive you to excursions, but my husband and I like to be spontaneous and found having our own scooter to be the perfect way to get around (just watch out for wild donkeys!). For longer stays, I also recommend stocking up no coconut water, wine, and other supplies while in town since it was considerably less expensive than the convenience store at Sailrock. Carla was a fantastic resource for recommendations on where to go and what to see. South Caicos is a close knit community, and Carla helped introduce us to other local business owners, including Captain Tim for snorkeling and Larry from Claw Tours for jet skis. The jet skis we rented from Claw Tours were newer and in a great shape; this was a super fun way to get out on the water. Larry will take you out on a guided tour or let you explore on your own. Our favorite excursion was a pair of snorkeling trips with Captain Timothy Hamilton. Captain Tim is phenomenal and very knowledgeable about the ocean wildlife. My husband and I went out with him for a half day of snorkeling and sight-seeing. We snorkeled in two places, a deeper water spot for bigger wildlife and Admiral's Aquarium. Then we went to iguana island (super cool! you can actually get to feed the iguanas) and starfish alley (HUGE starfish). We loved the snorkeling so much that we arranged another trip with Tim to Admiral's Aquarium a few days later. The Admiral's Aquarium is a stretch of coral reefs about 12 feet deep, with thousands of vibrant, tropical fish and a chance to see larger sea life like barracudas, stingrays/eagle rays, and spiny lobsters. The visibility and diversity of fish is absolutely unreal. We also spent an afternoon swimming at East Bay Resort's beach; their staff was very welcoming and accommodating and it was a fun way to enjoy a different part of the island. Everyone we met on the island was incredibly welcoming and helpful. South Caicos is remote and much quieter than Provos, which is exactly what we were looking for. The island's economy is developing and infrastructure is still lacking in some parts of town, but the entire island felt very safe. Both Sailrock and East Bay were opened just a few years before our trip, and both had plans for expanded amenities. Dining In addition to Sailrocks two restaurants, there are several other dining options on the island, and we tried them all! I highly recommend Sunset Cafe for fresh, local seafood and Dolphin Grill for lunch or a tropical sunset cocktail (best cocktails on the island, all hand-made!). East Bay Resort also has an extensive menu, including more American fare options. By Sea or by Plane We spent our first night in TCI on Providenciales at Grace Bay Club (highly recommend!). The next day, we had half a day to enjoy Grace Bay before catching a ferry to South Caicos. This was a great option for us since it allowed us to spend half a day on Provos. The ferry was just two of us, a couple of locals, and supplies for the island. On the way back, we had a morning flight on a 19-person plane... definitely the smallest plane I've ever been on. We spent another half day lounging/swimming in Grace Bay before catching our flight back to the states. We got a day pass at Wymara, which was perfect since it allowed us to use the amenities and clean-up before the flight back to the States.

We visited the Turks and Caicos National Museum as part of the Hop on and Hop off Excursion on a rainy afternoon. It turned out to be the highlight of the entire excursion! A knowledgeable guide started us off with a brief introduction of the Museum. We thoroughly enjoyed learning about the history of Turks and Caicos, the salt mining industry, the disappearance of the Lucayans etc, There were also extensive exhibits about John Glenn's landing in Grand Turk and a gift shop shelved with reasonable souvenirs! A real gem of a museum and a must-see!
