Thompson Cove Beach Providenciales

Editor's Comments
Simply put, the beach here is not great. Blocked accesses make getting to the beach difficult. Decent snorkeling can be found on the coral heads and seagrass beds off the beach. To get here, you'll need to walk up the coast from Blue Hills Beach.
1-star rating for Thompson Cove Beach by Visit Turks and Caicos Islands
Thompson Cove Beach, Providenciales.

Found between Babalua Beach and Blue Hills Beach, Thompson Cove Beach is a very small coast located near the entrance canal into the residential area of Thompson Cove.

Almost the entirety of the north coast of Providenciales consists of beach. The northern coastline is only interrupted by the entrance canals into Turtle Cove Marina and Thompson Cove and the coastal cliffs fronting the nearby Blue Mountain area.

Several rental vacation villas are found in Thompson Cove. While centrally located, it tends to be a very quiet neighborhood.

The Beach and Ocean Conditions

Thompson Cove Beach isn’t great for swimming, as the water here is shallow with lots of broken coral, sea urchins, and seagrass. There are some snorkeling sites that start around 330 feet (100 m) out from the shore, but the superior Smith’s Reef is a far better choice in terms of underwater sights.

Coastal engineering in the form of rock jetties and groins has taken place at several locations fronting residences, and these have created small beaches that are a bit larger and more consistent than the natural beaches.

When in the water, be aware of boats entering the canal. The waterway sees very little traffic, but it is important to watch out for vessels.

Beach Accesses

All the old beach accesses have been blocked off. To get to Thompson Cove Beach, it’s necessary to walk up the coast from the adjacent Blue Hills Beach.
