Just love the colours on the beach bag and the ocean at Long Bay

My sister Eve found this gem of a beach bag while shopping on Grace Bay. Of course, this shot was just waiting to be snapped………a beautiful blonde, the colourful sea horses and stylized seaweed and our ever graduating turquoise hues of Providenciales ocean out at Long Bay beach. Of course, not only are the beaches spectacular but the shopping is always full of interesting things. Come to the Turks and Caicos Islands and enjoy all we have to offer. See you soon!

Lemon Cafe

We went to Lemon Cafe for lunch today and really enjoyed it.

We went to Lemon Cafe for lunch today and really enjoyed it.

Time to try something new (at least to us) on Provo.  Some of  Harbour Club Villas’ guests had mentioned dining at Lemon and had brought back some brochures with sample menus. Today was the day and we drove into The Village at Grace Bay to find this charming place that’s a little tucked away but well worth looking for.

I loved the breeze coming through the restaurant which is surrounded by lush vegetation

Lemon is a restaurant with a distinct Moroccan flare and flavour with a touch of  Mediterranean influence. The owner, Mark showed us to our table and on the menu was a delicious assortment of soups, salads and sandwiches plus tapas, tagines and b’stilla. I know this has nothing to do with the food but I must say I just loved the rich looking Mexican tile floors that looked like burnished leather and also the breezy openess.

View from the outside looking in.....neat lanterns hanging from the trees.

We’ll definitely return especially for dinner the next time as I want to see what Lemon looks like at night and see the outdoor garden seating area with all the lamps lit up.  

Check out Lemon soon and perhaps we’ll see you there!

Bon Appetit!

If you're looking for a great view of our beautiful shoreline....take a parasailing flight way up high!

Parasailing is a fun activity for all ages and Provo has a couple of top notch outfits that will take you up as high as 450 feet! What an adrenaline rush to have a bird’s eye view of our island. These photos were taken recently on Grace Bay and I actually didn’t know three people could go up at one time until I saw this group all go up together.

Each flight takes about 15 minutes and the views are simply breathtaking.

Be sure to ask them to dip you in the water a few times!!!!

Happy flying,

I don’t think he wants to let go of the ball. Lots of water fun at Grace Bay beach. The water in the Turks and Caicos Islands is so clear that you simply must see it for yourself. See you in the islands!

The best Sunday breakfast and the best view at the Bay Bistro on Grace Bay.

The best Sunday breakfast and the best view at the Bay Bistro on Grace Bay.

A perfect way to spend a Sunday morning ……….. breakfast overlooking the turquoise ocean while sitting on the deck of the Bay Bistro Restaurant. It just doesn’t get any better than this on our island paradise.  On weekends, the Bay Bistro puts on a great breakfast and brunch and it’s a favourite of many locals and island visitors alike.  This morning was a picture perfect day as we watched the sail boats and hobie cats out on the water catching the gentle breezes.

Come and enjoy breakfast, lunch and dinner overlooking the ocean on Grace Bay at the Bay Bistro

Grace Bay beach

Grace Bay beach at Coral Gardens is great for snorkeling with the turtles.

Grace Bay beach at Coral Gardens is great for snorkeling with the turtles.

Here’s my favourite photo of Grace Bay beach taken at the White House Reef by Coral Gardens. The reef comes up very close to the shore and is protected by a circle of buoys. Snorkelers are asked to stay outside the circle of markers to protect parts of the reef that come up close to the surface at low tide. Recent sightings have included turtles, eagle rays and all kinds of colourful fish.

Snorkeler Mike heads out to check out the reef. You can see the circle clearly in the photo so remember to stay outside and there’s lots to see as you make your way around the buoys.

Wow.....what amazing colours the parrotfish have.

The Turks and Caicos Islands have some of the best snorkeling and diving in the world with incredible visibility. Visit the White House Reef at Coral Gardens on Grace Bay beach when you head to our beautiful islands for your next vacation. The water’s great!!!!

See you soon,

The Turks and Caicos Islands with incredible white sand beaches and crystal clear waters have become a favourite for romantic beach weddings. Consider our islands for that very special wedding surrounded by family and friends.

Time for the bridesmaids to have a little fun

If your planning to get married soon, think about a beach wedding on Providenciales in the Turks and Caicos Islands.
