If you’re willing to go the extra mile for the perfect beach, point your kayak toward Half Moon Bay. The beach is actually a sandbar that stretches between Water Cay and Little Water Cay, creating a Cast Away–like setting between two uninhabited islands, just a short paddle from the east end of Providenciales. The north side of the sandbar sits along the ocean, while the south side fronts a shallow lagoon protected by another spit of sand. If you’re comfortable in a kayak, you can easily reach Half Moon Bay on your own, but it’s also a popular stop for local day-boat charters.
