Grace Bay Beach in front of Sibonne Beach Hotel is great for watersports! Water Sports on Grace Bay Beach Water sports are often the reason guests come to the Turks & Caicos Islands. World-class scuba diving, snorkeling, kayaking, windsurfing, para-sailing and more are just minutes away. Boat rentals or charters as well as deep sea fishing, bone fishing or bottom fishing trips can be easily arranged. Annual Fools Regatta: Originally held on April Fool's day - this annual event is now held in late June or early July - on the beach just to the west of Sibonné. With boats representing every island in the Turks & Caicos, the regatta features nine locally built sloops as well as a Hobbie 13 Competition, Home Made Raft Race, Tug of War, Sand Castle Building, local music and food. Sailing: Whether you want to captain your own boat, join a group excursion or charter a private romantic sailing - everyone who visits the Turks & Caicos Islands should spend some time exploring by sea. Visit Little Water Cay, Parrot Cay, North Caicos, Middle Caicos or explore Chalk Sound National Park. Kayaking: Sea Kayaks are once of the best ways to explore the mangroves and discover nature at its best! SCUBA Diving: The Turks and Caicos Islands are surrounded by one of the most extensive coral reef systems worldwide (65 miles across and 200 miles long). Excellent visibility (up to 200 feet), pristine reefs, abundant tropical flora and fauna, fish and other marine life make Provo a world-class diving destination. Diving is concentrated around Grace Bay and the Northwest Point here on Provo plus nearby West Caicos Island - your dive shop will advise of the best sites depending on time of year, sea conditions and experience levels. You may be lucky & spot JoJo the dolphin who is a wild dolphin that loves to swim with divers just off-shore.
