Sports and Activities

Relax at the beach—or take part in one of the many other adventures awaiting, play golf on Karl Litton's championship 18 hole golf course, Provo Golf and Country Club, snorkel in the crystal-clear turquoise waters right out in front of our condo...

We ask that you keep this, our most treasured secret, on the island. (You may reveal this only to your family and friends off island. After all, if they visit our condo we would want them to know too.) Located just 30 feet out from the shore, and to the left as you walk on the boardwalk out to to the beach, is the most beautiful REEF, perfect for some world-class snorkeling. There is no other reef in all of the Caribbean that can compare. You will discover a treasure chest of tropical fish in a rainbow of colors, spinney lobsters with no claws and turtles nestled in the rocks and caverns below. The depth of the reef varies from 7' to 20'. And to top it all off, it's still a secret, known only to the locals in the North West part of the island.

We suggest that you bring your own snorkel mask if you have one, your local sporting goods store or one on Provo should be able to fit you with a mask. We'll supply the life jackets ranging in sizes small, medium and large. To find a mask that fits properly- without the straps in place, fit the mask to your face, pulling all your hair out of the way—inhale. The mask should seal and stay in place. If it does not try fitting another mask. Don't forget to ware your protective sunscreen.

In addition to golf and snorkeling, the other adventures include—scuba (water visibility is approx. 70 to 100 feet), sunning, boat rentals, spa and massage, tennis, Eco-adventures, parasailing, horsebackriding and more—on your island vacation there are plenty of other activities on Turks & Caicos.
