Northwest Point

Northwest Point is a highly scenic coastal environment and the extreme northwestern point of Providenciales. This general region is composed of two protected areas: the Northwest Point Marine National Park, which includes a significant region of the ocean and coast up to the high tide point, and Northwest Point Pond Nature Reserve, an inland marine wetland system of two ponds and underwater caves.  The Northwest Point area is not a great place for recreational swimming. The water can be quite rough at times and tends to have hidden sharp rocks and coral, large amounts of sea urchins, and seaweed. However, when conditions are calm, excellent snorkeling can be found off the western side of the point.
