Your flight to Providenciales (Provo) brings you to the tranquil Turks and Caicos and the island with the most visitor facilities. Enjoy the water sports, sugar-white sands and Jo-Jo the bottlenose dolphin in Grace Bay, and learn about the marine life of Providenciales at the Island Sea Center.
Explore times gone by at the Turks and Caicos National Museum on Grand Turk (30km south-west of Providenciales) to discover the salt industry, coral reefs and craftsmanship of the islands. The living culture of Providenciales can be found amongst the Bamboo Gallery’s sculpture collection and in the shops and stores of Ports of Call.
Escape the beach with a visit to Bight and Blue Hill Settlements, the oldest and main villages on Providenciales, or head to Chalk Sound, a large lake with turquoise waters on the south of the island. Or take part in the monthly competition at the Provo Golf Course.
Locals in Providenciales love their conch (mollusc) dishes from Creole to curried and fritters to chowder. Sit back and enjoy the sun with a rum punch made from Lucayan rum, coconut rum, orange, pineapple and sirop de grenadine.
