Another beautiful day, just perfect for a long, family walk along the beach dogs and all.
Enjoy the beaches of the Turks and Caicos Islands……….awesome beaches for walking, swimming, beachcombing, snorkeling with lots of fun in the sun.

Surf's up as the waves come crashing in at the North West Point
Its been really windy of late……shades of hurricane season and a tropical wave effecting our area. We’ve had rain showers which we love as much as our gardens do and a persistenly strong, gusty wind. All this is great for beachcombing and walking the shore line out at the North West Point.
White breakers on the reef and a rippling line of white froth flowing towards the beach
Beachcombing is a great way to spend an afternoon. See you on Provo!

An osprey on our walk out along the beach to the North West Point
We went for a long walk along the beach towards the North West Point where we spotted a magnificent osprey. He had just caught a fish which is what they feed on exclusively.
Ospreys will soar along the coast line as they search for ripples made by fish
The osprey is found throughout the Turks and Caicos Islands where it is a year round resident. Every time we head out to the North West Point, we always see them. This time, I managed to get up fairly close and was happy at how well the photos turned out.
A great beach for beachcombing and an added bonus was to see this osprey.
The osprey was a little agitated as I got closer and he didn't want to stop feeding on the fish
The osprey that breed in the Turks and Caicos Islands are a distinct sub-species that have a faint stripe behind the eye. Ospreys that are not from the region have a pronounced black stripe. If you enjoy bird watching you’ll definitely see ospreys as you wander some of the beaches.
