Public Access Points to Grace Bay Beach
The beaches in the Turks and Caicos are public, so you do not need a reservation to enjoy the incredible firework show.
And not to worry, there are great views all along Grace Bay Beach.
Just find a public access point, bring a beach blanket (and snacks) and “camp out” on the beach and enjoy the evening!
Google Maps links to public access points:
(1) Princess Drive (between the Somerset Resort & Bay Bistro)
(2) Forbes Point (take turnoff for Point Grace Resort)
(3) Regent Street (path next to Villa Renaissance)
(4) Central (road to the left of the Terrace, access to beach between Seven Stars & the Pinnacle)
(5) Grande Court (take turnoff for Royal West Indies Resort, go past the entrance, road ends on the beach)
There is also the new public beach facility & access point next to the Mansions but given its location away from central Grace Bay restaurants and limited parking not clear how well it will work for NYE unless you get there early
Beachfront Resorts, Bars & Restaurants
There are so many resorts and restaurants along Grace Bay Beach where you can welcome in the New Year.
Make a reservation at one of the resorts that is hosting a New Year’s Eve event with food, drink, entertainment, bonfires, fire dancers, and more or for a more casual experience, pick a spot with an al a carte menu or drinks along the beach
Let’s explore ‘from west to east’ …
