About This Spot

Long Bay Beach on the southeast side of Provo is the premier kiteboarding spot in the Turks and Caicos, and arguably one of the best in the Caribbean. The three-mile beach sits directly in the path of the east-southeast trade winds, so conditions are side-on to onshore and remarkably consistent — November through April is prime, with another solid window from June through August. The water is flat, turquoise, and shallow for nearly a mile out, with a clean sandy bottom and no rocks, urchins, or real shore break to worry about. At low tide it's waist-deep or less, which makes it a world-class learning spot; at high tide it opens up for foiling. Beginners tend to launch near the Shore Club or Stubb's Cove where the schools are based and there's help on hand. More experienced riders can head to the central and north accesses for more space. It can get crowded on windy days, and there are two marked swim zones — in front of the Shore Club and at Swaying Palms — to steer clear of.
