turtle tail

26 April 2012

almost a year ago, when james’ cousin peter came over to visit, we found this perfect place to go for a quick dive. the access isn’t easy, and we just found it by chance, in the middle of nowhere.

since then we haven’t been able to go back, because whenever we tried, the sea was very rough and impossible to get in the water with all the rocks. so when my mum and sister came over we gave it another try.

it was so quiet and calm and the water perfect, there we loads of little fish swimming around us – and so peaceful.

it’s not the perfect place to go snorkeling, as there isn’t much to see, but it’s the perfect place to stay in the water and chat all afternoon!

i’m all into white sandy beaches, but there is something about this rocky one that i love – it reminds me of the mediterranean and it’s nice for a change.

chalk sound national park

my mum and sister are over for a visit (hence, my little blogging…) so i am showing them around and making sure they don’t miss out on anything on island. i made a list of every beach and spot they should see in provo and the chalk sound national park was one of the first ones we headed to when they arrived.

chalk sound is a shallow lagoon, almost 5km long, with hundreds of rocky islands – and the water is a chalky turquoise colour! there are no sandy beaches (or very little), but isn’t the colour of the water amazing?

we drove through chalk sound drive, saw the amazing houses on silly creek and stopped on the side roads to sneak in, see the views and take pictures.

note to self – i must go back, rent a kayak to explore the islands and end up with lunch at las brisas with the best view of the lagoon.

paddle boarding anyone?

i have to confess hard core water sports are not my thing, but then, most of you know that by now! but i do enjoy living by the sea and doing stuff water and beach related.

so i was really excited to try paddle boarding a couple of weeks ago. have you tried it? at first i thought i was going to get bored, it looks so slow and repetitive. i went with three friends and surprisingly we had a great time. we exercised a little, explored the canal and houses around it and even chit chatted with each other. it felt kind of relaxing too!

if you’re in provo and want to give it a try, contact nautique sports, they have plenty of boards to rent and will give you some tips on how to get started. i can’t wait to go back!

snorkeling dream day

last year, when my family was over to visit, we went on a half day tour with caicos dreams – whenever we have visitors we always recommend doing this, and of course we always want to join!

we left turtle cove marina, picking up other guests from hotels at grace bay beach and headed to a perfect snorkeling spot – it was so peaceful, we just didn’t want to get out of the water!
