GRACE BAY BEACH,
TURKS & CAICOS ISLANDS
Grace Bay is the epitome of indul-
gence in a tropical paradise. This is a
true escape, but one much farther
away from home. If you’re looking for
this kind of winter getaway, Grace Bay
is the place to be. Located in the Turks
and Caicos Islands, Grace Bay is well
known for its array of luxury resorts, ex-
quisite shopping opportunities, and
fine dining experiences. Not to men-
tion – the beach is beautiful!
The Turks and Caicos is a British Over-
seas Territory that is made up of a clus-
ter of coral islands, which classify the
area as an archipelago. The islands sit
just north of the Dominican Republic
and Haiti, and southeast of the Ba-
hamas. Grace Bay is the gem of it all,
with pristine shorelines that stretch for
twelve miles.
For a more exotic beach activity, get
your scuba gear and certification, and
head for the barrier reef on Provo’s
north shore. Provo is the island on
which Grace Bay Beach sits. The bar-
rier reef is over a dozen miles in length,
and provides one of the best atmos-
pheres for scuba diving in the world.
Some diving charters will provide the
course you need to be able to go on
the trip, but make sure you research
which services will be taking you
where, and what exactly you’ll get to
do. While some don’t include scuba
diving, they do take you snorkeling,
and also provide lunch, drinks, and an
incredible boat ride through the stun-
ning, bright-blue water.
At Grace Bay Beach, you will enjoy-
championship golf courses, five-star
resorts, dinner right on the beach, de-
signer boutiques and shopping dis-
tricts, authentic eateries, and of course,
the amazing views. This is a trip worth
planning if you’re looking for the ulti-
mate tropical winter holiday.
Whether you just need a quick get-
away or a longer stay in paradise,
these beaches will provide all you
need to destress and unwind. Brush
away the snow flurries, kick off your
boots, and start packing your sun-
screen and swimsuit – it’s time to es-
cape winter’s chill!
