Great snorkeling location near Turtle Cove Marina. You can access it via Coconut road or by walking from the marina. Lots of small fish to see in the various coral reefs. Turtles, Rays, and Barracuda can be found as well. We've seen a few very large schools of bigger fish further out into the sea... Amazing to see! Water shoes or flippers are a must. Lots of sea urchins closer to shore. Beach is walkable all the way to Grace Bay, but no shade, so an umbrella would be useful if you plan to stay awhile.

This is a wonderful place to snorkel. We found early morning snorkeling was the best as it had the most activity. You'll see sea turtles and if you're lucky Sea rays or a nurse shark. There are also flounder in the sand and schools of other fish. Here are some of my videos I took with my GoPro

Bring your own snorkeling gear to this great location for viewing sea life! We saw squid, sea turtles, lots of fish, sea urchins and much more. I recommend water shoes if you just plan on wading into the water, as it is pretty rocky.

Great quite area for snorkeling and swimming. We went multiple days here and each time was a different experience and well worth the time. Start at the parking area on the west side of Coconut drive, swim out a ways and then head towards the north point. You can swim around the point as well but from what I remember there's an empty area for a ways until you get about halfway to Grace Bay. The area has a lot of different sea life and nice coral areas though there is some bleaching in parts. We saw manta rays, sting rays, lots of turtles and lots of different fish.

A great reef marked by bouys. There are several areas outside the marked area that are also fantastic. We saw octopus and turtles here. Coral in various stages and forms. Very much alive and full of fish. This beach is rocky for an entry for most of the way. The reef is about 300 yards east of the parking area. It's worth being in the water 75 to 100 yards before the marked area if the beach is crowded. Parking area is safe but leave no valuables in your car. There are no guards or attendants. There are alot of sand burrs between the parking area and beach so I would wear flips fyi. Would recommend putting on fins and backing into the water if you are on a rock entry. Swim as soon as it is deep enough. Rock entry is painful on bare feet. All beaches are public, you can set up your beach spot in front of the villas near the tide line. Reef safe sunscreen is a great idea and remember to keep your fins up high to not kick the reef.

Cool area, make sure you walk down the beach to where it bends. There is a spot to walk in the water away from the rocks and reef is easier to spot. You can tell it's the right spot by the circle of bouys in the water, just make sure not to enter as this is a reef rehabilitation area. Be careful of boats, many went by very close to us without much concern that people were in the water.

A decent place to snorkel around and see a variety of fish and coral. While not as colorful as other reefs in the Caribbean it is one of the bigger ones on Provo. We did see a few sea turtles and Manta ray while out. When at the point with the rocks and walk out and explore around as there are various sections of the reef distributed in the area.

Great snorkeling experience! Saw lots of colorful fish, beautiful choral, turtles every day, and a beautiful, large pair of spotted rays! Wonderful video and pics in the crystal clear water (can't post with this as they are still on my GoPro.

Gorgeous reef with lots of fish and sea life just off of the beach. Recommend snorkeling along the sides of the beach and close to the shore rocks. You cannot rent snorkel gear here. Easy to get to by car. When you arrive in the residential area there's a smaller sand road that takes you right to the parking lot.

Incredible access point for snorkeling in Turks. Beautiful beach. Stingrays and sea turtles are there to find.

It’s my favorite snorkeling and swimming place .Must must visit .Parking is small but always with some free spots . There are couple of palm trees and natural shades .The reef is well marked with floating orange marks with clear instructions how to approach. Amazing experience.

Nice place to SUP and snorkel. Tons of fish and reef to explore. You could spend a whole day around the reef, easily. The water was calm, warm and very clear.

Short walk (~1/4 mile) from parking lot at end of Coconut (at the marina) to the reef. The best spots start about 200 yds. beyond the palm/hammock (see picture attached). Reef areas are 10-40 yards off shore. Water depth 6-20ft. The sun's rays illuminate the coral. Water conditions can vary quite a bit depending upon wind conditions and time of year. Slight current. Late spring (May-June) tended to have calmer water. Spectacular waters, on calm days like clear blue glass! Healthy reef with abundant and diverse fish population, rays, and corals. Strictly a “bring your own gear” site. Best for adult swimmers. Note: Leave valuables at home. We were advised to leave car windows down when parking the car in remote lots. Thieves will get the message that there is nothing of value. Also Note: This review is based on two visits, 2015 and 2016. The island experienced a hurricane since then. The resort area has been fully restored. I do not know what, if any, damage the storm, and climate change, have done to the reef. Check more recent photos for info on that.

Getting here is a bit tricky. Take a left onto Coconut Road and follow until it dead ends. There is a narrow gravel driveway at the end of the road that looks like it might be private property. It isn't. Keep driving back the lane and it will open up into a parking lot. From here, you can walk straight onto the beach. If your going to snorkel, once you get to the beach, take a right and walk for about 1,000 to 1,500 feet. You'll know you found the reef when you see the orange buoys that surround it. The walk is worth it. This is some amazing snorkeling. From the moment you step into the water, you can see swarms of fish, even before you get close to the reef. We saw 6 or 8 turtles (including a baby). They surfaced about 2 feet away from me. So cool. We also saw a giant ray and just a ton of beautiful fish. I could have spent all day out there. If you are at all interested in snorkeling, you've got to check this spot out!

Go during low tide. Lots of turtles an rays as well as an assortment of other fish species. It’s free and the only reef accessible by just swimming out. No boat required.

Really like this beach. Not as busy as Grace Bay. Very long and nice to walk along. Quite a lot of jetski as wreck close by but guys only ask once if interested and don't pester you. Do have to walk a long way out for any depth if you want to swim!!! Soft white sand, beautiful water. Lovely. Some people mentioned that it was hard to get on, but we found 2 places with easy access to beach - one where you parked on road and crossed over to the path and another further along where you could drive down to a kind of car park. Just googled beach access on maps!!

Best beach we visited in Turks but be careful if you have a rental car. Two of my tires were slashed / punctured while I went to the beach on 12/23/2023 at 11am

Beautiful beach. Great sand. Gentle slope into water.

Lots of seaweed here despite workers attempting to rake it up. The sand was also littered with sticks and debris, not too nice to walk on. The parking lot (which is right next to The Shore Club) was very small and jam packed. It is a beautiful view but there are much better beaches on the island. I wouldn't bother with Long Bay unless water sports is your thing!

Sea weed lines the beach both in the water and on the beach itself. The public parking lot is small and somewhat of a walk through the sand. Otherwise, it's a nice beach.

This is a nice beach for sunrise and/or wind sports. Basically, if you're interested in Kite Surfing, go here. Expect to throw down several hundred dollars to do so, but if it's your cup of tea, go for it. The sunrise was beautiful here and the beach is super long and pretty. There are tons of conch shells and nice views of resorts and villas. If you're looking for where to park, type "Kitesurf Turks and Caicos Island" into your maps. It is on a curved road. You want the eastern-most point of this road. I would love to see this place (at least the public entrance) have better attention paid to litter.

You can walk out for miles in water up to the knee, beautiful clear water

Beautiful, breezy beach with shade. Lots of kite surfing here due to wind conditions. Beach access is easy to find by following the signs. Google Map directions to the public access point are incorrect.

I loved this beach! It is windy but the water color is just stunning. I could sit and watch the kite boarders for hours. So fun.

Amazing experience all around. The staff was hospitable and welcoming upon entering and we were as greeted with all the necessities that I was unprepared for like shoes that can and will get wet and a fanny pack to bring your camera safely. The most important aspect of the experience was their love and care for the animals. We had the biggest horses with the calmest temperament, they were a pleasure to ride.

Loved our experience at Provo Ponies. Guides were great at personable. If you’re an experienced rider and want to have some fun, request Max. My fiancé had a blast with Max. Max LOVES the water.

LOVE Provo Ponies! If you are an animal lover this is a must visit on the island. This was our second trip to Provo and our second ride with Provo Ponies. We had an afternoon ride with two skilled and knowledgeable guides who did an excellent job managing riders with a variety of experience levels. I was lucky enough to ride the “boss lady” of the herd, Mango! I had a wonderful time in the ocean with Miss Mango and especially enjoyed when she ran in the water, it’s a feeling like no other! Everyone at Provo Ponies was warm and kind and you can tell they all really care about the animals and go above and beyond to care for them. They also give each rider personalized attention and instruction when they match you up with a horse to ensure you are comfortable before you start the ride. It makes for a really great experience for any rider. Make reservations well in advance because they are popular (deservedly so!).

I love Provo Ponies! We just returned from the island & I did my 3rd ride with them while there. The staff is knowledgeable and kind. The horses well cared for & not overworked. As a horse owner myself, I have been please with each trip!! Great job P. P

This was truly a once and a lifetime experience!! I am an advanced rider so I got to gallop a long the each with a sick video! The staff were super friendly and amazing! So happy my family and I went.

Absolutely amazing experience with the Provo Ponies crew. When they say all levels they mean it! I've only ridden a horse once before. My 7 year old daughter is a pretty advanced rider. They let her show her stuff and have fun while they (basically) held my hand because I was going to fall off any second! More importantly, you can tell that the crew is extremely passionate about caring for the horses. They know each horses personality, tendencies and behavior and match the rider up perfectly. This is an absolute must do!

If I could give 6 stars I would, the people running it and working it were friendly and helpful and their horses are well taken care of. We had to ride about a mile on the side of a mostly deserted road till we got to the beach and and just went into the water. Riding in the ocean is a once in a lifetime experience and it was as good or better than I expected. The horses were making funny noises as they were enjoying the water as mush as were were. There were riders in our group that have never ridden before all the way to us who own our own horses. I will be returning next year when I go back to Turks and Caicos.

10 Gold Stars best horse tour experience, in the MOST BEAUTIFUL location! We loved our guide, the staff and all of the ponies looked loved, healthy and happy! Highly recommend!

all-around *spectacular* experience! the guides were incredibly attentive and helpful. each rider is introduced to their horse and told about their personalities and quirks, which made a first time rider like me feel very comfortable. the instruction was clear and the ride was STUNNINGLY beautiful. one of the most incredible experiences of my life, facilitated by wonderful employees. they even take amazing photos and videos of you during the ride. the horses seemed happy and well taken care of. an absolute must if you are visiting Provo!!

I grew up riding horse but our 9 year old daughter has only been on a horse once in her life. She was a bit nervous about how this ride would go but we both agreed that it was the highlight of our trip. Riding a horse in the ocean checked an item off my bucket list, it was simply a magical time. Grace and Eliza, our guides, were both very experienced around horses and kept us safe. Thanks for showing us the most beautiful beach around and helping us create such a fun memory together!

This was a once in a lifetime, very memorable experience. I did a private ride with the owner, Camille. She is very passionate about her rescue ponies and cares immensely for each of her horses. I never thought you could ride a horse in the water, but the horses really love it. I would highly recommend this experience to everyone.

This was definitely on the bucket list. They were very helpful and would use your cameras to take your pictures and they gave you plenty of ride time as well. Speaking of the ride, well they actually ride you out into the ocean and for a good while so be prepared to get cooled off and they have horses for all experience levels.

We had the BEST experience booking with Provos! All the staff were friendly and I loved that they took the time to review the personality of your horse with you. Shows they really cared and wanted the best experience for horse and rider. They happily take photos for you while riding and take you to such a gorgeous spot that it honestly doesn’t feel real. 100% would book with them again.

My family had a blast. A note for large men, the weight limit is 180 lbs for all the horses except 1. I didn't ride because their 1 big horse was booked by another large guy. You get to ride through town and take the horses into the water. My kids and wife were grinning ear to ear. The staff was great and helped all of us first timers feel comfortable.

We had an amazing time at Provo Ponies! I have been riding my whole life and can assure these horses are incredibly well taken care of and are happy and healthy. The staff was very kind and helpful. Riding in the ocean was incredible — so beautiful and the horses love it. Would absolutely recommend this experience for horse lovers and anyone looking for a unique, fun time on the island. It’s important to remember that horses are animals, not machines! This place does an amazing job.

What a lovely kind and cute place it is! Dogs are being loved there and staff is very nice. We enjoyed walking Beyonce today🥰 i wish more people will get envolved into helping their small friends and of course doing donations to help the place run. We highly considering adopting from there in the future even though we live in NY. But turns out it is very possible.

great staff- so kind and informative about the volunteer walkies!! we highly suggest doing while on the island a day, a great morning activity to bond with a puppy and help socialize them :)

I wanted to visit this dog rescue to donate. They are a lovely organization. The puppies and dogs are taken care of until they find a forever home. I took a few pictures of the sweet puppies. You can apply to adopt them and brought to the US. Hazelnut is the sweet puppy sitting in my pictures. I walked down and around after buying a shirt. I saw "hazelnut" in the arms of a woman!! She was just ADOPTED!!

This rescue is incredible and the work they do is so important! We had so much fun walking sweet girl Jerry today and would take her home if we could. She had so much fun playing on the beach.

This center does amazing work and the staff are so friendly. My girlfriend and I went on a Monday morning to volunteer for the daily puppy walks the center offers. We got to spend 3 hours with our pup and they gave all the necessary supplies we would need to take care of the little puppy. Definitely suck out this place for the great work they do and provide for the dogs!

Definitely get here early if you want to walk a pup. We arrived at 9 even though they do not open until 10 and we were one of 5 who got a puppy to walk. The volunteers here are amazing!!! They all are super helpful and take great care of these animals. You get a whole kit for your adventure with water treats toys and poop bags! Definitely will be adopting from here once we buy a house! It was such a great experience!!!

We were not in a position to adopt, but we had time to take a pup out on the beach for a few hours. This is a great organization, so do whatever you can to support them!

10/10 experience and rewarding! We took out popsicle for the day. She was the best beach pup and we would take her home in a second if we weren’t in California. So many beautiful puppies here looking for a forever home. The workers are amazing. Best thing we did while visiting TCI.

Had the fortune to be able to volunteer here for 6 days whilst on my vacation. The place is run by some of the most caring,dedicated,selfless people ,always ready to accept any puppy in need and give it love and affection. A great place to volunteer or adopt a dog, you can even courier one...which I am doing back to Toronto. A fabulous experience. I will be back

Amazing volunteer experience to walk & socialise with these absolutely adorable fury babies. My kids highly enjoyed this experience. The owner & her team are incredible for saving these dogs and finding them forever homes. You can adopt the dogs or give a donation to the shelter. Schedules are from 10-12.30. There's usually a queue outside the shop from 9am.

An amazing organization!! They put in so much effort and care to make sure all dogs can find a safe home. They give people the opportunity to walk and adventure with the dogs for socialization and to hopefully adopt. I went on vacation with the intent to visit this place and socialize some pups, and suddenly I came home with the sweetest potcake. Forever grateful!

Potcake Place K9 Rescue is more than just a place to visit—it's an amazing cause that I had the privilege of being a part of. The experience was truly rewarding and left a lasting impact on me. The staff at Potcake Place K9 Rescue is beyond wonderful. They are incredibly nice and helpful, making the entire experience even more enjoyable. They have a genuine passion for what they do and their dedication to the well-being of the puppies is evident. Speaking of the puppies, they are a delight to be around. Despite their challenging backgrounds, they are surprisingly well-behaved and full of love. Interacting with them was a joy, and the connection formed during the visit was heartwarming. One thing that stood out to me about Potcake Place K9 Rescue is their approach to donations. They provide you with everything you need to care for the puppies during your visit, and they are not pushy when it comes to asking for donations. Their focus is on creating a positive experience and raising awareness about their cause. I highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting the area. It's an opportunity to support an incredible cause, interact with adorable puppies, and leave with a sense of fulfillment. Potcake Place K9 Rescue is making a difference in the lives of these precious animals, and being a part of it is truly special.

We volunteered to walk one of their dogs. Our dog, Patty, was freaked out most of the time so we ended up carrying her like a baby most of the time! Lol Definitely a win-win situation for all!

Loved our visit to see the potcakes and appreciate the important work this organization does for dogs on the island.

This place pours heart and soul into their work ❤️ It runs on its selfless volunteers and donations. Shout out to Jane (founder & director), Abby, Dasha and everyone else who keeps this place up and running. They help as many dogs as they can and they do an awesome job. We were vacationing on the island and came across the store front and saw visitors were able to take puppies on socialization walks Mon-Sat 10am-1230p. So the next day we showed up to do exactly that. The process is made very easy. You fill out your liability form that explains all of the rules and the volunteers give detailed instruction before sending you off with your new furry little friend. Each pup comes with a tote bag with water / bowl, treats, toys and poop bags. A lot of the businesses in the area are puppy friendly and they also allowed to walk on the public beach entrances. Naturally we fell in love with the pup we were handed. We already have a pup at home and getting him a sibling had always been on our mind. So we inquired about the process. Jane is very through in explaining the potcake breeds, the application process and getting them home. So we took an application back with us and gave it some serious thought. Over the next couple of days we took our pup for a couple more walks, got our application approved and officially claimed him as our own. If vacationing in TCI I highly recommend paying them a visit. Take the pups on a walk or just give them love. You can even volunteer to help with morning baths (which I also recommend from my own experience). Whatever you choose to do, it’ll make your trip even that more special. And if you can don’t forget to donate so they can continue to give these puppies all they need to get healthier and eventually get adopted! This is our potcake, Sweet, by name and nature. He will go by Cosmo once he’s home in New Jersey. We will enjoy his “little” size for the short term and look forward to watching him grow. I know the volunteers will miss him but we’ll definitely send pupdates!

This place is doing amazing work! Donate what you can, money is great but if you can’t do that you can volunteer to help do puppy baths or take a young dog out for a walk and socialization.
