The Sands at Grace Bay resort releases its five reasons why budget-savvy travelers should consider a vacation to Providenciales (“Provo”) this Fall. Named the Caribbean’s #1 Island by TripAdvisor’s 2014 Travelers’ Choice Awards, travelers can enjoy savings, beautiful weather and partake in exciting culinary event during Provo’s off-season.

1. Score Island-Wide Savings During Provo’s Low Season – Fall is considered the final few months of the Caribbean’s low-season and is a time when travelers can receive significant resort discounts, reduced airfares, and enjoy a variety of free and affordable attractions throughout Turks & Caicos.

2. Fall Culinary Events, Fit for Foodies – Two highly anticipated culinary events take place in Provo during the month of November: the Caribbean Food & Wine Festival and Provo’s Annual Conch Festival. These annual events draw all-star chefs and foodies from around the world. Provo’s 4th Annual Food & Wine Festival takes place November 6-8th and includes a weekend of exciting island dining experiences featuring the local food and unique flavors of the island. The 11th Annual Turks & Caicos Conch Festival is held the last weekend of November and features island foods, music, and fun events for all ages.

3. Cool Ocean Breezes Temper The Heat – In the beginning of Fall, the tropical Turks & Caicos heat begins to cool down as the southeasterly trade winds return, as do the brief but more frequent rain showers. The ocean water remains comfortably warm, ideal for travelers to enjoy the variety of outdoor and ocean activities like sailing, windsurfing, kiteboarding, and using Hobie cats along the coast.

4. Fewer Crowds & More Secluded Beaches – Far fewer people travel to the Turks & Caicos Islands during the Fall season. Often, travelers don’t think about visiting this tropical destination until the winter months, once the temperatures are near freezing at home. Fewer island visitors means that it’s the perfect time of year for couples to plan a trip to Provo.

5. Caribbean Spiny Lobster Season – The Caribbean spiny lobster season kicked off on August 15, allowing travelers to take advantage of this local delicacy that is featured as a special menu item at the island restaurants throughout Fall. Seafood lovers can enjoy freshly caught lobster, conch, and fish cooked and prepared in a variety of ways by local chefs during Provo’s weekly Thursday Night Fish Fry.
