Beautiful by Nature
It only takes 90 minutes by plane from Miami to
reach these 40 mostly undeveloped, uninhabited
islands and cays and their 230 miles of brilliant white
beaches, but less than 90 seconds to fall in love
with them. The sweetheart of this destination is, of
course, Providenciales, part of the renowned Caicos
Islands and home of 12-mile-long Grace Bay.
Visitors to "Provo" find impeccable dining, upscale
lodgings, and all the vestiges of a luxe beach escape.
Anglers seek blue marlin, sailfish, and wahoo, and
wildlife enthusiasts delight in mangrove salt flats
with wily bonefish and underwater visibility that
reveals eagle rays, turtles, and huge schools of
jacks—a sight that can be attributed to 30% of the
archipelago's status as a park or reserve. Wall dives
let the intrepid plumb this silent world even deeper,
while wreck dives like the HMS Endymion, a relic of
the Napoleonic Wars, lie just 20 feet below. And up
above? 350 days of sunshine.
