The island of Providenciales (aka Provo) is only 38 square miles in area. Public transportation is challenging, so we rented a car for the 7 days we were there, and it was totally worth it!!
We did a mini road trip on the west side of the island where our
Daihatsu Mira 🚙 can reach:
 |
| Chalk Sound |
 |
Lunch at Da Conch Shack
|
 |
| Conch Salad + Drinks at Omar's Beach Hut |
Those were the main stops we had on the mini road trip, and then we went back to our villa by
Grace Bay Beach to enjoy the sunset. Some establishments close early or had limited hours or already closed for the off season. When we looked up coming to Turks and Caicos Islands (TCI), it said it was hurricane season... so it was a risk for us to come, but we got lucky with the weather!! It did rain here and there, but it wouldn't last long.

My friend Jojo found this place on the island where we can walk potcake puppies!! We did this Saturday, August 27th in the morning. We went to
Potcake Place K9 Rescue store front and was assigned Tinka!! She mostly wanted to chill on the beach in the shade. Folx can foster the puppies, and you can be a courier too!! I applied to be a courier, but maybe i gave too short a notice to help bring a puppy home to Miami cuz i didn't hear from them. It was nice to be able to walk the puppy and we saw other folx walking the puppies along the beach too.

Saturday Night!! We had to go out! even though we all wanted to stay home in pjs and watch Indian Matchmaking Season 2... We decided to check out
Aziza Lounge, which was all open air and we randomly found out that Kevin Durant was there!! Apparently Drake was in Provo the same time too, but we did not see him... he went every other night to Aziza, BUT Saturday night... hahah. I'm not even a super big fan, but I thought it'd be fun to see him in real life~ We did see KD, and that was super neat!! It must be annoying to be famous, cuz everyone's just taking pictures of you the whole time you're in public and watching you... 👀

Sunday [o8.28] was Jojo's last day with us, and we were looking for the Guinness Extra Stout beer to take back to LA, but we forgot that there are NO alcohol sales on Sundays.
Our last few days were chill~ Jess did parasailing, we chilled on the beach, and we did kayaking. We also went to our fave fresh juice spot called
Tropical Taste by Jamaican owner Ricky, and we also tried Jamaican patties at
The Patty Place. Ricky said there's lots of Jamaicans, Bahamians, Filipinos, and Thai folx on Provo.
It was truly a grand experience to be in Provo~ There are other islands you can visit, and there is a ferry you can take to North Caicos island, but Provo is the most populated island of TCI. If you wanna check out Providenciales, I highly recommend it AND be prepared to pay higher prices since almost everything is imported to the island!! 💸
Also, if you want to see more pictures of food I had... here it is!! 😋
