It’s not by chance or coincidence that we chose the quiet, unspoiled shores of Cooper Jack Bay for the location of The Strand in Turks and Caicos.
Located on the south central coast of Providenciales, the hills that hug the shore of Cooper Jack Bay offer heart-stirring views of the Caicos Banks that rival any of the world’s most highly coveted ocean vistas. From the impressive cliffs of natural limestone that hover over the sea to the soft white sands of the beach that meet crystalline waters, there’s just something special about Cooper Jack. And beyond its physical beauty, it’s the perfect place for those with a sense of adventure and a calling to explore.
About Cooper Jack Bay
A popular area for families in the 1980s and 90s, the seclusion and natural beauty of Cooper Jack have made it an attractive area for residents and visitors to visit for decades. And now, with the opening of The Strand, guests can experience this breathtaking location in ultimate luxury. The Strand is the only resort in the quiet residential area of Cooper Jack Bay, designed to seamlessly blend into its natural surroundings and offering an exclusive escape for travelers looking for a refined yet adventurous getaway.
Things to Do on Cooper Jack Bay
The natural beauty of Cooper Jack Bay is evident the moment you arrive on Seaview Road. The Strand’s Villas and Residences are nestled into the cliffs that overlook the Caicos Banks—a vast color palette of mesmerizing blues ranging from electric aquamarine to a deep cobalt.
Head down to the spacious stretch of beach below, soaking in the views on the way down. And once you reach the sandy shore, you’ll discover a beach that rivals the world-renowned Grace Bay.
Here, you can easily spend an entire day swimming, sunbathing and walking the shoreline, simply enjoying the sense of peace Cooper Jack brings. But for those seeking an adventure, this is also the place for you.
Cooper Jack’s location on the shallow and largely sheltered Caicos Banks on the south side of the island makes it an ideal place for a variety of water sports. From kayaking to paddleboarding, boating to snorkeling, you can do it all from Cooper Jack.
If fishing is more your pace, you’re in luck, too. The Caicos Banks are renowned for their excellent bonefishing conditions, so a short boat ride from shore will take you to some of the best bonefishing spots you’ve ever visited. For deep-sea fishing enthusiasts, you can head out beyond the coral reef, where the sea depth drops from dozens of feet to thousands, to fish for wahoo, mahi-mahi, yellowfin tuna and more.
The best part: An established canal system and the marina at The Strand, set to be complete in 2026, will make it easy to be out on the water within minutes.
Explore More Nearby Cooper Jack Bay
Beyond Cooper Jack Bay itself, the surrounding area offers even more opportunities for exploration and adventure. Just a short drive away, you can visit Turk’s Head Brewery, the only brewery in the Turks and Caicos, where you can tour the facilities and sample locally brewed favorites like the playfully named I-Ain-Ga-Lie lager and Gon-Ta Nort amber ale.
For those looking to immerse themselves in the exquisite natural world of Turks and Caicos, a visit to Chalk Sound National Park is a must. This protected lagoon is famous for its striking turquoise waters and hundreds of small rocky islands, best explored by kayak or paddleboard. Nearby, Taylor Bay Beach offers a tranquil, shallow shoreline ideal for wading and relaxing in calm waters—an idyllic beach for families with small children.
History buffs and explorers will enjoy a trip to Sapodilla Bay Hill, where centuries-old carvings left by stranded sailors and travelers can be found etched into the limestone rocks, offering a fascinating glimpse into the island’s past. Although only a few carvings remain as a result of stones being removed for preservation and unfortunate vandalisms, a visit to Sapodilla Bay Hill still makes for a rewarding hike with panoramic views of the coastline.
