Turks and Caicos

Discover the Hidden Gems of Providenciales: Serenity, Sunsets & the Perfect Villa Stay

When most people think of Turks and Caicos, they immediately picture Grace Bay Beach, and with good reason. It’s world-renowned for its powdery white sand, crystal-clear turquoise waters, and its concentration of luxury resorts, restaurants, and shops. Grace Bay is the perfect introduction to the island, especially if it’s your first visit.

But if you’re looking to escape and discover a more peaceful, private, and naturally stunning side of the island, then the real magic of Providenciales lies just beyond Grace Bay.

Rent a Car and Explore the South Coast of Providenciales

The best way to experience the island’s lesser-known gems is by car. Renting a car in Turks and Caicos is simple, with several agencies located right at the airport. Our local favorite is Grace Bay Car Rentals, with great costumer service and ease of rental.

Once you have a car, you’re ready to explore the South Coast Trifecta three of the most beautiful and serene locations in Turks and Caicos:

1. Chalk Sound National Park: A Shimmering Blue Lagoon

Imagine a lagoon so vividly turquoise it looks like someone turned up the saturation. That’s Chalk Sound, a protected national park made up of shallow, glowing-blue water dotted with tiny limestone islets. At around four feet deep throughout, it’s perfect for kayaking, paddleboarding, or simply floating and taking in the surreal surroundings.

It’s quiet, scenic, and feels like your own private sanctuary. It’s a true hidden gem in Providenciales.

2. Taylor Bay Beach: Calm Waters, Soft Sand, and Epic Sunsets

Taylor Bay Beach is a favorite for families and couples alike. The sand is so soft it’s often compared to powdered sugar, and the shallow waters stretch out for nearly 100 yards, making it ideal for kids to play safely or for adults to wade and float in peace.

This beach is tucked among private villas and rarely crowded, so perfect for those craving tranquility. Pro tip: Bring your own beach chairs, and don’t forget to pack out anything you bring in to help preserve its natural beauty.

3. Sapodilla Bay Beach: Chill Vibes and Local Flavor

Looking for a little more energy? Sapodilla Bay offers a livelier scene with local vendors selling drinks, food, and beach gear rentals. You can even hop on a jet ski! It’s great for people-watching and soaking up that relaxed island vibe with some music in the background.

It’s still peaceful compared to Grace Bay, but with a splash of fun and activity.
