Providenciales (Grace Bay)

Sleep at Grace Bay or Turtle Cove; keep one rental car for the reefs and the west; go to North and Middle Caicos as a ferry day, not a hotel change.

  • Caribbean ↗Several islands (Turks and Caicos above all, also the Bahamas and Jamaica) jail visitors for a single stray bullet or cartridge in their luggage; empty every bag and pocket before you pack.
  • Caribbean ↗From August to October keep a free last day before your flight home and check the national hurricane centre daily; airports close when a named storm approaches.
  • Caribbean ↗Wearing camouflage clothing is illegal for civilians in several islands, including Barbados, Antigua, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent, Grenada, Dominica, Trinidad and Tobago and Jamaica; leave it at home, children's clothes included.
  • Turks and Caicos ↗The Turks and Caicos Islands set their own entry rules as a British Overseas Territory; check official government sources for your passport.
  • Turks and Caicos ↗Firearms and ammunition are banned: even a single forgotten round in your luggage can lead to arrest and a prison sentence. Check every bag before you fly.
  • Turks and Caicos ↗Marine national parks are enforced: do not take shells, coral or conch, and follow anchoring rules.

Provo has the only international airport that serves most visitors, the resorts and the reef beaches. It is one long coast road: the beach and shops are walkable only on the Grace Bay strip, and everything else is a short drive. Keep one bed, and take the other islands as day trips.
