Exploring the Famous Five Cays Community, Providenciales, Turks and Caicos Islands

Today's Video features the famous Five Cays Community on Providenciales.

ONE OF THE THREE ORIGINAL SETTLEMENTS on the Providenciales, Five Cays is found on the south coast of the island. Beginning as a fishing village, this residential area is home to several small shops and restaurants.

Along with Blue Hills and The Bight, Five Cays was one of the first settlements on Providenciales. After the decline of the cotton and sisal plantations in the early 1800s, the small populations that remained on Providenciales turned to the small scale fishing and ship salvaging (wrecking) industries for economic support and these three settlements naturally formed due to their coastal locations.

The main tourism attraction in the area is Bugaloo’s Restaurant and Omar's Beach Hut, restaurants specializing in local dishes and freshly-caught conch.

Several churches are found in Five Cays, including the Paradise Baptist Church, as well as the Enid Capron Primary School.
