The cove is just a short walk from the beach around Smith’s Reef.

Several diving and watersports agencies also operate around the marina.

Turtle Cove is located on the central north coast of Providenciales, a 3-mile (4.8-kilometer) drive from Providenciales Airport. It is situated west of Bight Park and Coral Gardens, which form part of the Princess Alexandra National Park.
