Beach
Grace Bay beach is one of the most famous beaches in the world. The sand and water are breathtaking. This is the most touristy beach on the island as there is snorkeling, and miles of white sand with all the hotels on this beach. As I do love this beach, make sure to check out the few others the island has to offer!
This beach is my favorite beach in Turks and Caicos. It is a calm bay with stunning crystal clear water. It is quiet and peaceful. Bring umbrella and a cooler with some drinks if possible!

Grace Bay
Taylor Bay Beach is a hidden treasure. This beach is a bit difficult to find, but it is super private and the sand is the softest on the island, in my opinion, it feels like icing sugar on your toes. Also, sunsets are beautiful here!

I reccomend the provo pony tour that is held at Long Bay Beach. This is also a beautiful beach for sunset.

This grocery store is located in Grace Bay, a little bit further than the IGA, however it has better prepared food. It is a little more expensive, however.
