Smith's Reef, Providenciales

Great snorkeling location near Turtle Cove Marina. You can access it via Coconut road or by walking from the marina. Lots of small fish to see in the various coral reefs. Turtles, Rays, and Barracuda can be found as well. We've seen a few very large schools of bigger fish further out into the sea... Amazing to see! Water shoes or flippers are a must. Lots of sea urchins closer to shore. Beach is walkable all the way to Grace Bay, but no shade, so an umbrella would be useful if you plan to stay awhile.

Great quite area for snorkeling and swimming. We went multiple days here and each time was a different experience and well worth the time. Start at the parking area on the west side of Coconut drive, swim out a ways and then head towards the north point. You can swim around the point as well but from what I remember there's an empty area for a ways until you get about halfway to Grace Bay. The area has a lot of different sea life and nice coral areas though there is some bleaching in parts. We saw manta rays, sting rays, lots of turtles and lots of different fish.
