Turks and Caicos Snorkeling Resort HotelTurks and Caicos snorkeling from our hotel is exceptional - both inshore and offshore on the barrier reefs. Our own beach - Grace Bay's crescent of coral sand - frames a sweep of turquoise, crystalline water. The bay is protected from the ocean by a coral barrier reef from large waves. Dolphins, turtles - they swim in the bay in front of our Turks and Caicos snorkeling hotel. Our beach team fits our guests up with snorkeling gear. It is free of course. There are small coral reefs - patch reefs - to "hang over" near the hotel The beach team guides our guests to the best nearby reefs to paddle. Turks and Caicos Snorkeling ResortThe best reefs are slightly offshore and a short boat ride away. Our Turks and Caicos snorkeling resort can serve as your headquarters. Many of the snorkel expeditions pick our guests up right from our beach. The long barrier reef that runs parallel to the north shore of the Caicos Islands is a prime starting point. Other reefs can be found further away, fringing islands such as French Cay and West Caicos. The day long snorkeling adventures on open water are not just devoted to snorkeling. There are opportunities to swim, dive for conch, collect shells, and just soak. Eva, our resort concierge, arranges Turks and Caicos snorkeling adventures for our guests.
