Snorkeling and SCUBA Diving on the Barrier Reef
The Turks and Caicos Barrier Reef , the third-largest barrier reef in the world , shields Grace Bay Beach from large waves , keeping the waters calm and crystal clear . The reef is home to myriad colorful and interesting marine life , from sea turtles and coral formations to starfish and eagle rays . You can access some of the reefs from the beach , but it is wonderful to go on a snorkeling cruise . There are many boats available .
There is an artificial reef in Grace Bay across from the Turks and Caicos National Environmental Centre . It is a new reef that is already home to coral
and colorful fish . Supervised by the Reef Ball Foundation , youth from the Junior Park Warden program installed the eco-friendly artificial reef .
