Best snorkeling at Providenciales - Turks & Caicos

by Fredric
(Merion, PA, USA)

We are planning a vacation at Providenciales, Turks & Caicos this spring. We understand that the best snorkeling off the beach is at Grace Bay. Because Grace Bay beach is very long, is there a preferred area of the beach that has the best off-beach snorkeling? I so, we will try to find a place to stay in that particular area. Thanks.

Where To Beach Snorkel in Grace Bay
by: Galen & Nicole

Hi Fredric. We have not yet snorkeled in Grace Bay, but I did a little research and this is what I found out.

Some of the best snorkeling is suppose to be in an area called Coral Gardens - (in front of the Coral Gardens resort). Smith's Reef is also supposed to be excellent (near the Sharkbite restaurant) Bight's Reef is also supposed to be excellent.

I have read that the reef right in front of the White House, (past the Beaches) is wonderful and close to shore.

I have read there are no reefs east of Coral Gardens.

I also read that you can take the Gecko bus up and down the beach for not much money. So getting around is not too hard, if you don't end up staying right in front of a reef.

I have also read that some of the boat snorkeling is excellent, so maybe think about taking a few of those trips as well as the beach snorkeling.

Darn it, after all of this research I am now excited to go check it out myself. Thanks for the inspiration!

Have a great trip. And please share your Providenciales snorkeling stories and pictures here when you get back.

Providenciales snorkeling
by: L & T

Enjoyed 9 days on Providenciales in May 2010. Stayed at Royal West Indies Resort on Grace Bay (Would recommend this hotel). They have a beautiful beach for playing in the water and relaxing, however, the best snorkeling we found from shore (went there almost every day) was at Smiths reef.
