On the vacation spot of Turks and Caicos islands, the town of Providenciales is a popular stop. On the west end of the archipelago, the town once had a population of only 500 people. But since 1960, the town has blossomed into the most populous and urban city on the islands. Locals refer to their city as Provo, and its diving, beaches, and turquoise waters attract loads of tourists. In high season, cheap Providenciales hotels may be difficult to find. But the best budget hotels in Providenciales can be found on EasyToBook.com.
One favorite spot is Grace Bay, a 12 mile beach that is protected from rougher weather by a barrier reef. Caicos Bank is shallow and full of conch and lobster. Sapodilla Bay is the popular mooring spot for yachts, and the Leeward Going Through is the deep channel for passing boats. For architecture and history buffs, be sure to visit Cheshire Hall, the ruins of a 200 year old cotton plantation. The views are incredible, and the area is well preserved by the National Trust.
