Grace Bay is exceptionally calm water — a barrier reef a mile out takes the swell out before it reaches the sand, so the water is flat and clear in a way most islands only manage on a good day
Late August through October — peak hurricane risk, and a number of resorts and restaurants close for the low season.
December through April, December the busiest month
Among the easiest in the region: no surf on Grace Bay, short transfers, and everything on Providenciales within a few minutes’ drive. It is also an expensive place to eat and sleep.

Peak risk September and October, when a number of resorts and restaurants close for the season.Jun · Jul · Aug · Sep · Oct · Nov
