Festivals and events in Turks & Caicos in February

The Valentine's Day Cup takes place on Bambarra Beach in the central north coast of Middle Caicos. This event centres around a sailboat race which is followed by barbecues, live music and dancing on the beach. This is a great event for families and children, especially because of the calm and shallow waters surrounding Bambarra Beach. This event takes place on the Saturday closest to the 14th of February.

There is no better way to end a peaceful day of relaxation than a sunset cruise. Sip on a cool rum punch and experience mother nature’s best gift. Picture the water ripples lighting up in blazing shades of orange and pink, as you and your loved ones watch the sun sink beyond the horizon.

Taylor Bay beach in Providenciales has soft powdery sands and very shallow waters. A small Ocean Point peninsula protects the beach from winds, resulting in calm and clear waters.
