Sapodilla Bay Beach

Just a short walk from La Mer Villas, Sapodilla Bay Beach offers shallow waters and fine white sand beaches that make for the perfect family beach day. With a stunning view of the open ocean to the southwest of the island, Sapodilla Bay is wonderful for anyone wanting to stretch out and enjoy the sun, or wade through the shallow, turquoise waters. This spot is popular for families with young children due to the shallow and calm waters making it safe and easy to keep an eye on little ones.

Tip: It’s calm in Sapodilla Bay most days, a reason why we love it, but especially when it’s windy on Grace Bay head this way! Enjoy a jet ski ride from one of the beach vendors or get active with a paddle through the calm waters.

Taylor Bay Beach

Also within close proximity to our villas, you will discover quiet and serene Taylor Bay Beach just a short distance from Sapodilla Bay. Here, the shallow water offers the best opportunity for children to play and adults to float for hours on end, cocktail in hand. While it can be a little more active at Sapodilla Bay, Taylor Bay is the ‘calmer sibling’ with a little less action. Beautiful any time of day, but for a real treat, stick around for sunset!

No matter how you prefer to enjoy the beach, Long Bay offers the perfect combination of solace and adventure. You can also explore the beach via horseback with Provo Ponies.

Tip: When the wind is blowing out the N, Long Bay is a calm alternative to a breezy Grace Bay. On hot days, a breeze is welcome and the bonus of watching kiters fly by.

Enjoy powdery white sand and serene seas, along with a rock jetty that offers some impressive snorkeling. This beach also lives up to its name, offering the perfect place to sit back and watch the famous sunsets for which Turks and Caicos are known.
