More things to do in Providenciales
There is plenty to discover in Providenciales besides the beautiful beaches. For example, you can rent a kayak and take a tour of Chalk Sound. It’s a wonderful area with tiny cays and secluded beaches that must be explored by boat. Most of the sound is only about 4 feet deep, so it’s easy to paddle around and navigate. Visitors have reported friendly iguanas popping up here and there as their kayaks reach the islands. A tour of Chalk Sound is a tranquil, relaxing experience. With so much to explore, you can spend the whole day there!
