Half Moon Bay is a pristine three-quarter mile (1200 meter) beach that’s found between the uninhabited islands of Little Water Cay and Water Cay. Essentially a sandbar that grew over time, this beach is about 400 feet (110 meters) wide, and today the central dune supports light vegetation and casuarina trees.

Half Moon Bay is one of the most popular destinations in the country for water tours. The coastal area is also one of the many gems in the Princess Alexandra National Park.

The northern side of this bay features a great beach with turquoise water. The southern side offers a sheltered and shallow lagoon with crystal clear water and soft sand.

Little Water Cay is a small cay located near the Leeward area of Providenciales, and is best known as being a sanctuary for the Turks and Caicos Islands rock iguana.

The cay is a fun and interesting attraction for all ages. The Turks and Caicos rock iguana is docile, and there are typically many of these fascinating lizards to see.

The beautiful Long Bay Beach lines the southern coast of this region. Private homes and luxury rental villas are found on this beach, but the density is much lower than what is found at other popular beaches.

There are rocky patches on the western end of the beach, but overall the coast offers shallow turquoise water with a clean white sandy bottom.

Turtle Tail is a coastal luxury residential region, and offers some of the finest vistas on the island.

Turtle Tail is a narrow peninsula that largely separates the interior Flamingo Pond and Juba Point Salina from the ocean and Caicos Banks. At the far eastern end of the peninsula, a small channel allows tidal movement into the ponds, and divides Turtle Tail from the Long Bay region of Providenciales.

Quite a few rental vacation villas are located at Turtle Tail, and they range in size from small guest houses, to the expansive mansion of the late pop icon Prince, complete with its own purple driveway.

Turtle Tail is a very peaceful and private region of Providenciales.
