Wildlife and Outdoor Sights
 JoJo the Dolphin - An Atlantic Bottlenosed Dolphin who began interacting with humans swimming in his territorial waters, JoJo is easily Provo's most famous resident. He can be seen occasionally playing in the wake of charter boats. In 1989, the Jojo Dolphin, Whale and Wildlife Project was started to foster understanding through research of our marine friends. For more information, click the JoJo logo to open a window with the Project's web site.

 Island Sea Center - Home of the Caicos Conch Farm, the world's first mariculture facility. Conch are raised from eggs at the facility located at the far eastern end of Provo. Most active during the egg-laying season from April to October, guided tours are available 9-4, Monday - Saturday.
|
"The Green Flash" - As the sun slips below the horizon on nights when the sky is clear of clouds and haze, you'll occasionaly see a "Green Flash." So named because the last rays of the sun to disappear are green.
|
 The Hole - The Turks & Caicos are islands of caves and caverns. On Provo, the most spectacular example of this is "the Hole" located in Long Bay off Sea Sage Hill Drive. Gotta see it at least once!

Night Life
 Local Rhythms - You may wish to choose your dinner spot (see our
DINING section) by where the local bands are playing. This will give you a chance to hear the sounds of the tropics as well as see the locals – both Turks Islanders and expatriates – at play.
