Searching for serenity on a beautiful Caribbean beach where the landscape beckons you to lie back and let go? Book a non-stop flight from Charlotte to Providenciales in Turks and Caicos and in less than three hours you’ll be lounging on one of the world’s most welcoming destinations surrounded by stunning stretches of sand: Grace Bay.
This staggering seven-mile powdery-white shore is the heart and soul of Providenciales, or “Provo” as the locals call it, the most developed of the eight inhabited islands in Turks and Caicos. Grace Bay is immaculate with its crystal-clear turquoise water going knee-deep for miles. Locals take pride in keeping the beaches and the sidewalks clean. No trash on the ground, no plastic carelessly chucked into the water. The residents will report anyone who litters or harasses tourists; they want to maintain a warm welcome to their visitors.
