Noah's Ark

Noah's Ark, located near the island of Providenciales.

Found on the aquamarine waters of the Turks and Caicos Islands, away from the hustle and bustle of the mainland, you’ll find Noah’s Ark Beach Club, more often referred to as simply Noah’s Ark. This floating bar is popular, and one of the top boat cruise destinations near Providenciales. The bar has an adult-only atmosphere.

Although Noah’s Ark is a bit too far to swim to from Providenciales with its location off of Half Moon Bay lagoon, getting to the floating bar is easy. Noah’s Ark organizes a daily ferry service leaving from a dock near Blue Haven Marina to transport passengers to this hidden treasure.

Visitors can also make a pitstop at the floating bar during a boat or jet ski excursion. Whether it’s a ferry or personal vessel, it doesn’t matter—as long as you have access to a boat, getting to Noah’s Ark is no problem. Once arriving at your destination, you’re sure to see that Noah’s Ark is worth the trip. With panoramic views of the Princess Alexandra National Park and the Caicos Banks, it’s easy to understand why the floating bar is a crowd favorite.
