WHAT AIRPORT SHOULD I FLY INTO?

“For Turks and Caicos, it is PLS (Providenciales). Direct flights are offered from 11 North American cities, including Washington DC, New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Miami, Charlotte, Atlanta, and Toronto.
For arrivals from other destinations, travelers will typically connect through a major United States east coast city (such as Miami, New York, or Charlotte). Check flights offerings from
British Airways, American Airlines, United, Air Canada, Delta, Jet Blue, West Jet, and InterCaribbean and others who fly into PLS.”

THE WORLD-FAMOUS GRACE BAY BEACH is located on the northeast coast of the island of Providenciales. This pristine beach is the hallmark of the Turks and Caicos Islands, and the recipient of many designations, awards, and accolades.

Grace Bay currently holds the position of World Travel Awards’ World’s Leading Beach Destination, and 2nd place in Trip Advisor’s World’s Best Beaches. Over the previous decade, Grace Bay has taken first or second place in these two competitions 19 times.

The entirety of Grace Bay is excellent and breathtaking, with clean turquoise water and soft white sand, and no rocks, seaweed, or pollution. An extensive barrier reef is located about a mile (1.6 km) offshore, and protects Grace Bay from the ocean swells of the Atlantic, which helps to keep the water at the beach calm and safe.

Grace Bay Beach is home to nearly all of the large and luxury resorts on Providenciales, and much of the boat and water sports traffic that takes place near Providenciales occurs in the shallow waters between the beach and barrier reef.
