NorthwestProvidenciales

NORTHWEST POINT is a highly scenic coastal environment, and the extreme north-eastern point of Providenciales. This general region is composed of two protected areas: the Northwest Point Marine National Park, which includes a significant region of the ocean and coast up to the high tide point, and Northwest Point Pond Nature Reserve, an inland marine wetland system of two ponds and underwater caves.

The main points of interest here are the rugged marine limestone coastline (locally called ironshore), small coves and beaches, wetlands, birdlife, and majestic ocean conditions off the point.

The Northwest Point area is not a great place for recreational swimming. The water tends to have hidden sharp rocks and coral, large amounts of sea urchins, seaweed, and can be quite rough at times. However, when conditions are calm, excellent snorkeling can be found off the western side of the point. Fishing is illegal in the Northwest Point Marine National Park, as in all national parks in the Turks and Caicos.

Northwest Point is an ideal place to spend an afternoon exploring some of the natural features of the Turks and Caicos.
