Arriving at Taylor Bay beach on Sunday........wow, the colours were so vibrant.
Sunday we motored over to Taylor Bay. There were ominous black clouds with thunder in the distance but we hadn’t been out for a while so that didn’t stop us. We were the only people there in the early afternoon too so we had the place to ourselves for a few hours.
Little Malaika loved playing on the beach after having been in Europe for the past six weeks.
The ominous black clouds just hovered over us but there was still lots of sunshine and no rain showers.
Barry has a late afternoon float in the shallows while looking out at the boat which was moored in three feet of water.
A kayaker waves at us as we head for home as the sun starts to set.
We were treated to an amazing sunset in the marina at Harbour Club Villas.
Sailboat “Lig” rides at anchor at our dock as the pink and orange after glow of the sunset lights up the skies.
Another perfect afternoon on the water. We hope you’ll be able to visit us soon and enjoy the beaches of the Turks and Caicos Islands.

The other day a white, airy wedding canopy was erected and readied for a sunset beach wedding. A hobie cat was sailing by almost on the horizon as I took this photo.
The Turks and Caicos Islands are some of the favourite destinations for that romantic island beach wedding. Our villas have provided accommodation for many wedding groups and couples, honeymooners too. Give us a call or send us an email and we’ll help make all the arrangements for you. See you on Provo for that dream wedding on the beach. Check out our website at http://www.cloudnine.tc .
Ready for a perfect beach wedding ceremony at sunset

Such a wonderful evening watching the sun go down while floating in the water. We didn't see the "green flash" because of the low clouds on the horizon.

Another one of our glorious sunsets at Harbour Club Villas. Cocktail hour or two sitting on the benches over looking the Marina.
A wonderful way to relax after a busy day. We go up on the hill and just sit enjoying the view as we watch the sun set. I sure missed this while in Miami for all those weeks.

As the sun sets, the pink tinged clouds are reflected in the calm waters of Flamingo Lake

Mike floating about on Grace Bay beach at the Bay Bistro
I decided to take Mike to one of my favourite spots along the North shore and Grace Bay. It really is interesting how the beach changes from one end at the entrance to Turtle Cove Marina to the other end at Leeward. If you want to snorkel, the best spots are at Smith’s Reef and the Bight Reef at Coral Gardens (White House Reef). Mike took all his great photos of turtles at the Bight Reef. Here’s one from today……..he saw turtles, a sting ray, a huge barracuda, a lionfish (oh no!!!!) and lots of fish.
Mike snapped this photo of a Hawksbill Turtle at the Bight Reef
The best for just enjoying the water and swimming, just lazing around and for the softest sand is just in front of the Bay Bistro ( great food and tell Chef Clive, Marta sent you!) and Sibonne. We used to find all kinds of sand dollars there years ago but when things got built up they all disappeared. We spent hours here today just enjoying the water.
Nothing like having a cold Corona on the beach while enjoying the water
While Mike was out snorkeling at the Bight Reef, I saw a white eagret swoop over my head and land. He stayed for a while and I managed to get some great shots.
A white eagret stopped by to check things out.
To top off every fantastic day in the Turks and Caicos Islands…….. a sunset that was extraordinary. We were at a friends house overlooking our villas at Harbour Club and Flamingo Lake below us. The colours and the calm waters showed off the Five Cays so clearly.

On your next visit to Providenciales, explore all our beaches as there’s many of them each one as spectacular as the next. See you there!

Flamingo Lake was at its stunning best today .... flat calm with a mirror image reflection.
I glanced out at the lake late this afternoon and the reflections in the calm waters took my breath away. I grabbed my camera and didn’t even have a chance to tell Barry where I was going. The ripples and the colours kept changing as the sun started to sink over the hill to the right of our villas at Harbour Club.
The sun started to set and tinged everything with an orangey glow
As I walked along the road the water was churning………….”nervous water” as the fishermen call it. The bonefish were tailing and rippling up the calm on Flamingo Lake.
The bonefish were tailing and rippling the surface of Flamingo Lake
In the foreground of the photo you can see all the circles and ripples created by tailing bonefish.
I zoomed in on this photo which does show a definite bonefish shape.
For all you bonefishing enthusiasts out there, fishing would have been great this evening. Our guests at Harbour Club Villas can just walk across the road and into the lake. We see bonefish tailing all the time and you can watch from your villa windows.
Bonefishing is great in the lakes by Harbour Club as well as the flats. Come on down and join us.
Tight lines!!

- I just love the subtle tones of another south side sunset over one of the Five Little Cays
A few clouds and a blaze of orange are reflected in the silty sand covered with crab hole mounds some of which were under inches of water from an outgoing tide.

This beautiful pink tipped sea anemone looked like it was growing out of an old conch shell.
Another great day spent with friends on the water. As we waded to our little cay with the iguanas, I came across a pink tipped sea anemone. It appeared to be growing out of an old conch shell encrusted with marine life.
We saw many iguanas on the little cay and they were probably introduced some years ago.
The iguanas scurried away as we approached and this one was almost ready to put up a fight. He positioned himself so that he could hide in the brush under a sea grape bush if he needed to.
Three pelicans all in a row were feasting on a large school of little fish
As we anchored off the pirate’s cave and Osprey Rock, we were treated to a pelican show…………..three Brown Pelicans and their synchronized dive bombing for fish show. It was spectacular to watch as I positioned myself in the water in the hopes that they would feed close beside me.
Look at the huge stretch of this pelican's gullet.
Little fish were jumping all around as the pelicans swooped time and time again.
I love the way they skip along the water trying to get enough lift to launch into flight.
And finally, front row seats for the best view in the world and a grande finale to the day. The sun sets over Turtle Rock, and we head back to Harbour Club’s Marina.
We watched the sun go down from the waters of Taylor Bay.
A perfect ending to another Provo day filled with sun, fun, good friends and alot of laughter. We wish the same for you as you make plans to visit soon.

Here we are once again floating around at Taylor Bay........those noodles are quite the invention.
We got a little later start than usual today and it was just perfect. The water was calm and made for a smooth ride as we pulled into Taylor Bay. The baby just loves being in the water here as it’s so warm. We introduced her to the soft sand and she just couldn’t get enough!
Sand and more sand everywhere as munchkin plays at the water's edge.
The sand was so soft that she just couldn’t get enough of it and as you can see, it almost covered all of her. So much sand all over and then it was time to rinse off and cool off in the late afternoon.
Rinsing off all that sand.
Yes, this was the last beer as the sun started getting lower in the sky.
- We were treated to a spectacular sunset off Osprey Rock in the distance.
Time to get onboard and head for home before dusk. We just made it in time, pulling into Harbour Club Marina just as it was getting quite dark.
