Grace Bay Beach on the Island of Providenciales (known as Provo), in the Turks and Caicos Islands, is generally considered to be the best or one of the best beaches in the world. In 2016 Trip Advisor rated Grace Bay the number one beach in the world and in 2017 it was number two to a beach in Brazil.

Most people travelling to the Island of Providenciales have some difficulty with the long hard to pronounce name which is usually shortened to Provo, but when it is, there can be confusion with Provo, Utah a well known American ski resort area.  So people who fly to Providenciales for a Grace Bay vacation, tend to say they are going to Turks and Caicos, which is like saying I am going to the United States rather than saying they are going to New York City or Miami Beach.

The flag of the Turks and Caicos Islands was adopted in 1968. It has a Union Jack on the top left to let us know that the Turks and Caicos Islands are a British Territory.  The Union Jack has been the flag of Britain since 1801 and it appears within many world flags of the British Commonwealth and British Territories.
