You are a beginner or a seasoned traveler—it does not matter. Princess Alexandra National Park on the Turks and Caicos Islands suits your needs. The term “national park” sounds boring, but boredom is not about Princess Alexandra’s park. It is gorgeous here.
Take comfortable shoes, a bottle of water, a couple of sandwiches, and a swimsuit with you. You are ready for a walk to the north and east coast of Provo Island. Along beaches and hills, forests, and cliffs, there are paths of different complexity levels. And the area is huge - 2643 hectares.
Locals claim that a walk at Princess Alexandra’s park is a good way to know Turks and Caicos. The main sight of the islands is nature. And you feel it completely. Your feet are drowning in the white sand, while waves leave a white foam next to you… You sail in the mangroves looking for green herons and brown pelicans… Lemon sharks, herons, pelicans, crocodiles, iguanas, turtles, stingrays, and many other species inhabit the park.
But the most incredible experience is diving. Wear a mask and scuba gear and go down to the sea bottom. The park has the most beautiful coral reefs on the island. It is an embarrassment of riches, you see a variety of colors and species of corals and fish. Besides, in Princess Alexandra National Park, you can look at bottlenose dolphins.
Take a break and relax on one of the beaches, located in the reserve. The mix of white sand, bright green palm trees, and a turquoise ocean calm and even put you into a meditative state. Cover your eyes and watch the waves from time to time.
It is an incredible place. You can get closer to the nature of Turks and Caicos, do water sports, relax, and bask on the beach.
