Everyone has fantasized about paradise at some point.

Or rather,

paradise on Earth

.

Not in vain, for most, that dream Eden responds to the image of a beach with crystal clear emerald waters,

white and fine sand,

lush vegetation, unique flora,

coral reefs

to dive for hours at the stroke of endless scuba diving sessions. ... Well, that place exists.

And yes, it has its own name: Grace Bay Beach.

For something this idyllic enclave of Providenciales, one of the islands of the

Turks and Caicos

archipelago , in the Caribbean, has been chosen as the best beach in the world according to the latest

Traveler's Choice 2020

international awards granted by Tripadvisor, the largest digital platform of travels.

Through them, it highlights the favorite destinations of its users around the planet, cataloged as

The Best of the Best.

Idyllic panorama of Grace Bay Beach.

In the "Best Beaches" section, the portal takes into account both the "quantity and quality" of the comments and

ratings provided by its users

over the last 12 months.

In this way, aspects such as the good conservation of the place, its level of accessibility, the services it offers or the

respect for the environment

of its inhabitants are rewarded.

Grace Bay Beach, located in the paradisiacal Caribbean archipelago, the dependent overseas territory of the United Kingdom, can boast of all this.

Of course, before it

was administered by Jamaica and

the Bahamas.

And even by Spain, since the first to reach them was

Christopher Columbus

in 1492. Later, in 1512, the explorer

Juan Ponce de León would document them.

The beach of the Turks and Caicos archipelago.

Currently, it is one of 17 Non-Self-Governing Territories under the supervision of the United Nations Decolonization Committee

.

Not in vain, the United Kingdom granted independence to the Turks and Caicos in 1982, but its inhabitants preferred to remain under its rule.

Be that as it may, today they are considered

one of the most beautiful and photogenic enclaves in the world

, as Tripadvisor users attest to their most spectacular beach, Grace Bay, located in Providenciales,

known colloquially as Provo.

With an area of ​​98 square kilometers and around 23,000 inhabitants, it is the most populated island in the country.

The five-star resorts are a plus of the place.

Thus, among the comments that we can read on the portal are some such as "

an absolutely idyllic place

. Infinite beaches of golden sand and crystal clear blue waters", "an authentic postcard", "

an incredible place

where you can see the bottom of the sea as soon as you get into the water due to its clarity", "great for both couples and families" or "

an ideal corner without crowds,

perfect to unwind".
