A great sign post greets kiteboarders, spectators and beach enthusiasts to the Shore Club beach.
An amazing day on Saturday as we headed to Long Bay beach to take in some beach time as well as to watch the kite boarders. This colourful sign greets visitors as they walk out onto the beach, kites everywhere, in and out of the water. Wow, do these kite boarding enthusiasts know how to have a sensational day….some were skimming and flying across the water, learning techniques, beginners were taking lessons, there were families out enjoying the day and even man’s best friends were there, barking and tail wagging trying to get in on the action.

Kite boarding and visiting boats at anchor at Sapodilla Bay
Late afternoon is such a beautiful time of day………….we watched a kiteboarder as he skimmed across the bay past and around some boats that were at anchor. Shooting into the sun gave the photo a soft quality as the sun glinted and sparkled off the water. Don’t forget to bring glasses and a bottle of wine to sip on as you watch the sun go down into the water. Sapodilla is the best place to watch the sun set and perhaps even to see the elusive “Green Flash”.
What a show we enjoyed on the beach at Malcolm Roads.........Mike and a friend were out doing flips and enjoying kiting off the beach.
We drove out to Malcolm Roads beach today. It was looking quite miserable but Eve was positive the sun would shine and she’d be able to snorkel. Sure enough, out came the sun and a couple of kite boarders………..Mike Haas who is one of our island kiteboard instructors and a friend.
Mike Haas has been teaching kite boarding on Provo for a number of years now. Head down to the Turks and Caicos soon and learn how to kiteboard!
Not only was watching these guys kiteboard exciting but they also sighted a whale just off shore. No kidding……they were actually kiteboarding with a 30 foot whale!
Kiteboarders flying high and doing flips and jumps entertained us on the beach today
And so, if you want to holiday in the Turks and Caicos Islands and learn to kiteboard, just drop us a line at Harbour Club Villas and we’ll put you in touch with Mike.
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.
Finding conch in the waters at Long Bay.
There’s lots of conch in the water out at Long Bay. We were shown all the ins and outs of crackin’ conch and how to serve up ” a fresh from the ocean” feast!
We didn't forget the limes....conch, fresh from the sea.
Albert used to do lots of fishing and knows exactly where to find conch. He showed us how to prepare the conch meat and served it to us out on the Long Bay beach.
Yum…..that conch with a squirt of lime is as fresh as it gets!
Join us for a taste of Conch on your visit to the Turks and Caicos Islands. Hope to see you soon.
