Taylor Bay with its shallow , clear waters and a delight of every child.

Babalua beach, a lesser know piece of gorgeous beach just made for Harbour Club Villas guests.

Just across the channel coming into Harbour Club’s Marina are the little Cooper Jack Beaches that are just perfect to while away an afternoon

Stunning Leeward beach……don’t forget your camera as the colours here are always amazing.

Kite boarders and horseback riding on Long Bay beach……….great to watch them.

Malcolm Roads beach with its lovely beach but it takes a little bit of a walk.

Favourite Southside Beaches

Posted on December 5, 2014 by marta

Delou’s beach also known as Cooper Jack beaches at the entrance channel to Harbour Club Villas and Marina

Explore with me some of our shoreline where you’ll find some out of the way gems of beaches that many of our visitors miss. Here are some of my favourites and each one has something special to offer.

You can kayak out the marina channel and follow the shoreline to this little beach.

“My beach” also known locally as “Dog beach”

Sunset and shallow waters, pretty idyllic for an evening swim.

Tidal beaches and lovely waters with stone animal carvings on the hillside above.

We’ve spent many hours on this beach and had it all to ourselves every time.

Beautiful Bonefish Point and the shallow sandbar stretching out into the waters.

Anchored out off the sandbar is a lovely way to spend an afternoon.

Sapodilla Bay is a perfect spot to while away some time especially with little ones.

Sapodilla Bay is an anchorage for visiting boats.

South West Harbour Bluff by the pirates cove has a lovely beach and you can walk for miles down to Bonefish Point.

Lounging in the shallow waters looking towards the pirate’s cave and Osprey Rock just around the corner.

Take a walk along Taylor Bay……..powdery soft sand.

Low tide and sandbars forming at Taylor Bay……take your kids here as they will love it.

Turquoise waters and white sand beaches of the Turks and Caicos Islands

It’s time to think about leaving winter behind and flying to the sunshine and warmth of our islands. Spectacular beaches await you, soft white sand and clear sparkling water.

See you soon and check out our villas for your next vacation ….. http://www.harbourclubvillas.com

Sapodilla beach with boats at anchor on a calm day

Sapodilla Bay is on the south side of Providenciales where visiting boats can clear customs at South Dock and then moor out and enjoy some perfect beach time. The water is shallow for quite a ways out before it deepens.

Lazing around and floating in such clear calm water.

Shooting through the rocks makes for some interesting effects

A sunset beach wedding at Sapodilla..........a beautiful spot to exchange vows.

A footprint left in the sand as the tide starts to come in.

One of my favourite photos with a flowering poinsiana or flamboyant tree framing my daughter and grandbaby.

Providenciales and the Turks and Caicos Islands have some of the worlds best beaches. There are so many of them and we hope on your next visit, you’ll take in some of them to include Sapodilla Bay on the southern shores of Providenciales.

Happy beach days!

Sapodilla Beach

Posted on August 6, 2011 by marta

A red Flamboyant tree (Royal Poinciana) was ablaze with firey red orange blossoms and made a showy foreground for this photo taken with Sapodilla beach in the background.

The Royal Poinciana tree is flowering right now. It has bright red showy flowers that make this tree stand out. Take a look in the Bight as there's quite a few of them there.

My gorgeous daughter posed patiently while I took many photos......thanks babes!

Another Taylor Bay Sunday

Posted on April 11, 2011 by marta

"Groovin" on a sunny Sunday afternoon on Provo......it just doesn't get any better than this!!!

I wish my photos did justice to the true colours of the sand, seas and skies on yet another perfect Sunday afternoon dreamily lazing around at Taylor Bay. We got a late start at about 3 pm and cruised on down to Taylor Bay anchoring in 2 feet of water fairly close to shore. The tide was on it’s way out so ever so often we’d drag the anchor further back.

The boat was out in two feet of water as we lay around in the gently rippling water

As the sun slowly sank lower in the sky, we pulled up anchor and headed towards home. As we came towards the marker buoy off Ocean Point, we were greeted by over a dozen sailing boats anchored out in Sapodilla Bay.

Note the marker buoy in the foreground with a Royal Tern perched ontop of it.

Here's a closer view of a Royal Tern taken down in Blue Hills

Sapodilla Bay had more boats anchored out than I’ve seen in a long while…………. a beautiful sight to see especially as the sun was starting to set.

At least two dozen boats were gently rocking back and forth out in the bay.

A parting shot of the sunset and Sapodilla Bay boats as we motored home to Harbour Club's Marina

A lovely tranquil afternoon. We’re fortunate to be able to enjoy all the stunning beauty around us in the Turks and Caicos Islands. We hope you will book your next holiday and vacation in these “beautiful by nature” islands. See you soon.

Sapodilla Bay Afternoon

Posted on January 4, 2011 by marta

A picture perfect day on the beach at Sapodilla.

We started off by deciding to go out to Leeward Beach. We took a detour going totally in the opposite direction because Anna wanted chicken wings from Sweet T’s for lunch on the beach. I suggested since we were so far from Leeward that we head for Sapodilla Bay. I hadn’t been out there for a good two years and had forgotten how beautiful this beach is.

The tide was going out and the water had formed these ripples in the sand.

We loved the clear, shallow water and as the tide went out, the water created ridges in the powdery white sand.

Sapodilla sunshine as Anna and Eve enjoy the rippled waters.

A lone sailboat sails into Sapodilla anchorage for the night.

Put Sapodilla Bay beach on your list of places to see when you head down to the Turks and Caicos Islands. I’ll see you there now that I’ve re-discovered this gem of a beach.

End of the day

Coming home this evening we were treated to a spectacular sunset

The end of a relaxing day on the water and another island sunset. This one had some amazing cloud formations over the southern shoreline from Osprey Rock, Taylor Bay and Sapodilla Bay.

The sun dancing on the water of the canal that runs past the Marine Biology School.

We had a lovely afternoon on the water and as we turned into Harbour Club’s marina , the sun was just disappearing over Cooper Jack hills. The photo is taken just by the Marine Biology School where the canal leads off towards Turtle Lake. A great place to watch the sun go down into the ocean and perhaps see “the green flash” is at Sapodilla Bay.

Sapodilla rock carvings #2

Posted on April 24, 2009 by marta

View of boats at anchor at Sapodilla Bay from the top of the hill

A great view point to watch the sun go down and look for the Green Flash…………the top of the hill has scattered rock carvings with names and dates. They say these carvings were left by sailors on watch.

This carving bears the name S Thompson and shows the Masonic symbol

This carving bears the name S Thompson 1874 and shows the Masonic symbol

This is quite an elaborate carving with Palestine at the top and the name R N Bacon.

Inscription dated 1812 and 1821

This one's from 1832

Here's what Sapodilla Bay looks llike from where the carvings are

Here's what Sapodilla Bay looks like from where the carvings are

Be sure to visit Sapodilla Hill to see these carvings and enjoy the view when you visit us on Providenciales.

See you up there!

Cheers,

Sapodilla Hill Rock Carvings

Posted on April 23, 2009 by marta

Here's the trail leading up Signal Hill to where the carvings are found

On the way out to South Dock and just past the Chalk Sound turn off, you’ll find a rough dirt road that ends at the old Mariner Hotel. Park beside the link fence at about a third of the way to the old hotel and look to the right…..you should see the trail head.

At the top of Signal Hill look down in the rocks and you'll find the carvings

There are many names and dates carved into the rocks supposedly by shipwrecked sailors in days gone by. The inscriptions are quite old and you can clearly make out names such as Balfour and Harriott along with dates.

This appears to be the earliest date 1767

One of the inscriptions could be attributed to a 19th-century official: W.R. Inglis, second President of the Turks & Caicos (1854-1862).

Inscription by W.R. Inglis around 1854-1862

I want to post more photos of the inscriptions and will do that tomorrow. The view is magnificent from the top of Sapodilla and well worth a trip to see these old carvings.

Sapodilla Bay

Posted on April 2, 2009 by marta

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”.

Cheers!
