Taylor Bay is located on Providenciales’ south coast, near Chalk Sound and west of Sapodilla Bay. This beautiful beach is only about 2000 feet (600 meters) long. The water here is protected from the regular southeast trade winds by the small Ocean Point peninsula, it is very shallow, calm, and clear, making it an excellent beach choice for families with small children.
This beach can be very interesting during very low tides because large patches of sand with intricate patterns are exposed at times due to the very shallow water. There are a lot of rental vacation villas in this area, but the beaches are rarely crowded. There is no good snorkeling nearby. The low sea cliffs that continue on both ends of the beach where the sand stops do protect a few small fish and soft corals, but not much else. Sapodilla Bay is also nearby, as are the Sapodilla Bay Hill Rock Carvings and Chalk Sound National Park.
Beautiful, calm, shallow, white sand, not crowded at all. When in low tide, you can walk into the sea for about 50-100meters. And there are jet ski activities sometimes. Highly recommend.
We spent the morning wading here in the calm and beautiful waters. It's very shallow for a long ways out, which was different from the waves at Grace Bay. Perfect for those with children. It did start to get a good crowd around 11am but still less people than other beaches. Don't mind the feral dogs roaming the beach. They were all bark and no bite. Follow the Taylor Bay Beach access point on Google maps. The road you want to park along is Ocean Point Drive, not Sunset Bay Drive.
Public beach access with plenty of parking.
Short walk to a mile long quiet beach. No big waves, perfect for kids. Beach is shallow. You have to walk about 200-300 feet in to get waste deep. Best water color is between 11am and 1 pm. Beach is perfect for sunset.
This is an absolutely stunning beach and one of the best on Providenciales!! There is no public transportation, so you’ll likely need to rent a vehicle. This is a quiet beach on the south side of the island. There are no stores, restaurants or shops in this area. You’ll need to bring in everything you’ll need for the day. Also, there are no beach chairs, bathrooms or umbrellas. However, this is an amazing beach. The water is crystal clear and calm. I walked 175 feet out and still was only waist deep. There is ample parking along the road (just don’t block any driveways). The best part of the beach is on the far end. This area has no rocks, is even quieter and has no seaweed.
I think this may well be my favourite beach ever. Stunning. We visited TCI 20 years ago and this was our favourite beach - at that time there was only one house on the beach and was pretty much deserted each day. Now there are lots of properties but it is still clean and pretty quiet. To get to beach you need to park along the road - if you see tennis court Lane, the track to beach is just the other side of the posh driveway!! We have not had a problem parking, but do try to get there early. Snorkeling is not great, although at either end if you stand still near docks or rocks, you can spot lots of fish.
