We just had to stop and take photos of this unique conch inlaid island stone wall.

Long Bay.......great for those long walks, beach combing, horse back riding and the best beach for kite boarding.
How the weather changes here on Provo……………flat calm without a breath of wind early this morning then the wind picked up and really started to blow by the afternoon. A perfect day for walking the beach at Long Bay and I would imagine with the wind being up, that the kiteboarders would have been out taking advantage of the winds. We’ve had guests at Harbour Club that have come here specifically to kiteboard. I’ve watched them on numerous occasions out at the Bight beach which is a favourite as well as at Sapodilla Bay.
But back to Long Bay. It is what I call a wild beach, wind swept and strewn with conch shells as there are many conch out in the waters off the beach. There’s even a Haitien sloop (boat) up on the shore. Albert shows us how to find conch at Long Bay and then to crack the conch.

We didn't forget the limes....conch, fresh from the sea.
Join us for a taste of Conch on your visit to the Turks and Caicos Islands. Hope to see you soon.

Too much rum??
Hi everyone,
Today I took some Harbour Club guests to Da Conch Shack on the beach at Blue Hills. This was their first try at tasting conch which is the local favourite food here on Provo. We had great conch fritters and the curried conch was exceptional! The guests were entertained by the bartender as they sipped on a traditional rum punch. All in all it was a great day.
