taylor bay

Peaceful secluded beach, ideal for little ones as the water is very shallow, and slopes out very gently. Excellent for a beach walk.

This is the most beautiful beach on Providenciales. It is on the opposite side of the island to Grace Bay, but the white sand and shallow waters make it a wonderful place to spend the day with children and adults. Parking is a bit of a problem though.

One of the most beautiful beaches I have visited. Warm, clear water that seems to stretch out forever ... Warm, white sand that is some of the softest we have experienced. Very quiet, clean and picturesque. We had a lovely afternoon here and would definitely return.

A great place to spend a relaxing day at the beach. Bring plenty of sunscreen as there is no shade. Easily accessible from Ocean Point Drive. Look for a small parking area on the right near the end of the road and follow the path.

We loved our time here and visited this beach for our nerd trip to Turks. My only complaint was not finding it sooner. Our kids are now 3 and 5 and we were looking for a nice place to let them snorkel in shallow protected water. Taylor beach wasn't hard to find thanks to another reviewers awesome directions.our kids loved it and charged right in since the water is crystal clear and really shallow. They snorkeled for an hour chasing little fish and searching for shells. This set the pace for our trip on the first day and we visited this beach 2 more times.

A friend recommended Taylor Bay so we decided to go see how it was. It is definitely a hidden gem. I followed directions from another reviewer but added my own edits.. - to get there "From Chalk Sound Drive, take a left onto Ocean Point Drive, drive until you see a neighborhood straight in front of you called Ocean Point - right before the enterance on your right hand side, super small parking area. There's a small path leading from this lot, and you see the path split, one going straight, the other veering to the right towards tennis courts. Stay on the straight path and you will arrive at the beach. Taylor Bay is surrounded by nice homes and the water is beautiful. Perfect for young kids as its shallow until you see the water color changes to a darker blue. Must see. Not much shade, no facilities so bring an umbrella, chairs and a nice picnic.

The crystal clear waters of Taylor Bay remain shallow with gentle waves, so perfect for families and for those who enjoy strolling in the water!

Took us a little while to find it but was definitely worth it! Beautiful shallow bay where it feels like you could walk half a mile before the water hits your knees. Really calm, no waves and ringed by expensive villas. We saw our "lotto" house in the beach here. There are no facilities or shade so be prepared!This is how you find the path to get to the beach. Make a left on Ocean Point Drive from Chalk. You'll come across a large stone sign for Ocean Point. There will be a small area for parking and a path down to the beach. It's about a 3 minute walk and pictures are attached.

This is very different than Grace Bay. You can walk forever in 3-4' of water. The sand is equally amazing; and the waves are more calm. It was more crowded than expected; and finding parking / entrance to the bay can be tough. Overall a great visit.

We fell in love with our trip upon the first time seeing Taylor bay. We have NEVER seen anything like this. Grace Bay was a little rough during our stay in November 2014, so we headed to all different beaches, and this was our favorite. Secluded, private, luxory homes right on the beach. Crystal clear, shallow water for 100 yards. Watvhed 3 sunsets here as well.

Finding the entrance to this beach was an exercise in trial-and-error. So repeat after me, From Chalk Sound Drive, take a left onto Ocean Point Drive, drive until you see a super small parking lot. We're talking like room for 3-4 cars. There's a small path leading from this lot, and you're going to walk past some tennis courts. A turn or two later, just when you think you're definitely in the wrong place, this tiny, hideaway beach opens up. We arrived just in time for the sun to set, and it was one of the best highlights of our trip. The turquoise water is only two feet deep for what feels like 50-70 feet into the ocean. We took some fantastic photos, and headed off for dinner at Las Brisas.

We went to Taylor Bay beach twice while on Provo and absolutely loved it! Beautiful clear, warm, shallow water. Perfect for kids! We didn't have to worry about the kids being in too deep of water because they could touch the bottom as far out as they wanted to go. If you are visiting without kids, just walk down to the far end of the beach-the families probably won't walk that far lugging all their gear... Definitely a must do on Provo!

Taylor Bay was difficult to find but once we found it we found it we were amazed at the beauty and serenity of the bay. We found a deep red starfish and two black star fish. The color of the water was breath taking and you could walk several hundred feet out without the water reaching your knees. A MUST see while in Turks and Caicos Island.

There is a one star review of Taylor Bay resulting from a user's inability find it; a good sign. Making the effort = spending the day on a quiet secluded beach shared only with those well-deserving beach goers who also made the effort. A "club," if you will. Very Danny Boyle.

Perhaps my beach expecations are too high but I have seen many better beaches in my life.It was difficult to find. We used two different access points during our lengthy visit in the TCI this winter and both were tricky to find initially. (Parking under a no parking sign in a housing estate with a path running beside a tennis court then through some shrubs?? or Parking in a no parking zone in front of a large house and squeezing past a garbage dumpster and then walking through scrub to the beach????)The water was calm and shallow with a sandy bottom, good for my kids to swim in alone.The beach is ringed by scrub at the back and I found there not to be much sand space. There are many large houses on the edges and several times my day at the beach was interupted by drunk tourists splashing around in the water.That being said, the sunset here is unrivaled on the island. We often brought a blanket, a bottle of rum puch and some snacks and enjoyed the show nature provided.Although it is only an average beach in my opionion it is worth a visit, especially if you have young kids.
