Award-winning Grace Bay is regularly recognized as one of the world’s top beaches. Providenciales has also received accolades as one of the world’s top islands. Why, do you ask? A picture tells a thousand words.

It’s so romantic and beautiful here that Grace Bay beach is also a favorite place to tie the know.

Here on Providenciales, you can get up to any number of different adventures this winter, including snorkeling, kiteboarding, stand-up paddle boarding (SUP), or exploring a deserted beach. Here, a happy visitor goes wakeboarding near Leeward.

Kayaking is one of the best ways to explore the coastline. Floating above an impossibly azure sea, you have a window-seat to everything happening around you.

There are also opportunities this winter to experience scenes that have to be seen to be believed.
