With some of the clearest waters in the entire Caribbean, the diving is truly spectacular with excellent visibility and an abundance of marine life ranging from tropical fish to turtles, rays and sharks. Some of the best dive spots on Providenciales can be found along the reef at Grace Bay and near Northwest Point. At Coral Gardens and Smith’s reef you can snorkel directly from the beach. For those who like to venture just a little further, fantastic diving can also be discovered on our neighboring islands such as the west coast of West Caicos, French Cay and Salt Cay.

Long Bay beach on Providenciales has some of the best conditions to be found in the entire Caribbean with a large expanse of clear, shallow water, perfect for learning or trying new tricks. For the more experienced boarder, the mangroves opposite Blue Haven are fun to explore on windy days. For nature lovers, there are some unique eco-adventure excursions right on Blue Haven’s doorstep. Kayaking or SUP in the shallow mangroves of the nearby cays are a fun way to explore and spot birds, fish and other marine life. Mangrove Cay and Little Water Cay (known as Iguana Island for obvious reasons) are directly adjacent to Blue Haven Marina and an easy paddle away. CONTACT: Big Blue Unlimited . . . . . . . . .

The marina has several recommended cruising itineraries through the islands and would be happy to assist you in planning your charter. Gorgeous beaches, exceptional scenery and interesting wildlife along with traces of history and culture give each island its own distinctive identity. Whilst you’re here, take the opportunity to discover the paradise that Turks and Caicos truly is. You can hire a car, a bicycle or take the inter-island ferry from Providenciales. NORTH CAICOS GRAND TURK The most lush of all the Turks and Caicos islands, North Caicos attracts much birdlife so bring your binoculars to the Flamingo Pond Overlook where you can often see flocks of over a thousand Greater Flamingos. Then step back in time and walk amongst the fascinating ruins of a 1789 Loyalist plantation. Relatively well preserved, Wades Green Plantation offers tours and is supported by the National Trust. For beaches, head to Horsestable beach on the northern shore of the island. The majority of Turks and Caicos’ heritage is retained in the capital, Grand Turk. There is a National Museum with some fascinating exhibits and artifacts. Adjacent to the museum, the Botanical Garden pays tribute to the local flora and fauna. Grand Turk is also well known for its lighthouse, which despite no longer being operational, is a lovely spot to visit and protected by the National Trust. Grand Turk is also the port of entry for the cruise ships gracing our waters. MIDDLE CAICOS CAYS AND OTHER ISLANDS Accessible via a causeway from North Caicos, Middle Caicos is the largest of all the islands. The spectacular views of Mudjin Harbour are undoubtedly the most scenic. There are many lovely shores to choose from such as Bambarra beach for an inviting swim in the shallow water. Middle Caicos is also famed for the Conch Bar Caves National Park, where you’ll find the largest cave formation above water in the Caribbean. It’s exceptionally easy to find yourself in a remote and private location. Pine Cay, Parrot Cay, Salt Cay, French Cay, Fort George Cay and West Caicos all have stunning stretches of white sand and excellent dive sites. Nature enthusiasts will love Little Water Cay where many iguanas roam free. However you choose to spend your time, we know you’ll love the paradisiacal islands of the Turks and Caicos and all they have to offer. 18 IGY MARINAS.COM Blue Haven Arrival Guide.indd 18 :: 1.855.DOCK.IGY 10/25/13 8:45 PM cruising itineraries for Turks and Caicos As a full service marina, Blue Haven Marina has compiled some sample cruising itineraries as suggestions on how to make the most of your time exploring the Turks and Caicos Islands.
