Chalk Sound National Park

The beautiful islands in the Chalk Sound National Park.

Found in the southwestern region of Providenciales, Chalk Sound is a protected national park with stunning shallow waters peppered with hundreds of tiny rock islands. The brilliant hues of blue are created by a refraction of sunlight off the limestone sand and particles of the area. While the majority of Chalk Sound is land-locked, a winding channel connects it to the ocean as well as the Caicos Banks on the south shore of Providenciales.

The tour of the national park begins at Las Brisas Restaurant and lasts about two hours. Suitable for visitors of all ages, the tour includes a range of sights and activities to accommodate every guest.

During your tour, you’ll likely spot rock iguanas, which are indigenous to the Turks and Caicos and reside in the rock crevices on Chalk Sound. As you take in the incredible sights of the lagoon, you’ll also learn about the history of the national park, its surrounding landmarks, and the local wildlife from highly knowledgeable and friendly crew.

If you’d like an underwater experience, you’re in luck—the tour also includes stops at a few snorkeling sites, allowing you the opportunity to explore the picturesque waters of the lagoon in closer detail.

On calm and sunny days, Chalk Sound is one of the best areas in the Turks and Caicos for paddle water sports such as kayaking and paddleboarding. If you’re seeking an adventure or simply want to explore the scenic waters of Chalk Sound at your own pace, consider renting a kayak or paddleboard from Las Brisas Tours.
