Venetian Road Providenciales
The long and winding Venetian Road follows the Turtle Tail peninsula, which ends with a small beach, along portions of the southern coast. A residential area with private homes and vacation villas, Venetian Road offers one of the most scenic drives on Providenciales, as it weaves past low hills overlooking the Caicos Banks and the mangrove-lined wetlands of Flamingo Lake and Juba Sound.
Having gone years with a rough and unpaved road, the road was paved around 2018 through a private citizens initiative, and is now one of the most pleasant and scenic routes in the Turks and Caicos.
Venetian Road is home to a marina, a private high school, two small hotels, the country's national stadium, and two restaurants. Bob's Bar is the main eatery, offering a casual local atmosphere and weekly live music.
Vacation Rental Villas
Several high-end luxury villas are located on the bluffs and coasts in this region of Providenciales. These include the luxury Wymara Villas, a waterfront cluster of homes located near the South Side Marina.
You can also find the budget-friendly accommodations at Harbour Club Villas in this area. Accommodations on Venetian Road are not walkable, so it's recommended to rent a car if you plan to stay in the area.
Beach and Access
Due to the rocky ironshore cliffs that comprise most of the coastline in this district, the beaches are generally sparse and inaccessible. There are no official public accesses, including at Turtle Tail Beach. There are areas to park and walk to the beach, although this is generally over private and undeveloped land.
