Located front and centre, the resort’s beachfront swimming pool offers stunning views and is furnished with comfortable loungers, umbrellas, chairs and tables.

Guests can also head to the resort spa, where expert therapists will help you choose the perfect massage - whether you want to soothe sore muscles, or simply to unwind and enhance your holiday. Looking for something a little more energetic? Whether you’re a fitness enthusiast or finally finding time for a long-overdue workout, East Bay Resort’s fitness centre has the equipment needed to stay active while on vacation. Or, why not take your workout outside, and enjoy a game of tennis on the private court?

Diving with Reef Divers
East Bay Resort’s dive centre, Reef Divers South Caicos, is the only on-site PADI dive shop in South Caicos and is located minutes from world-class dive and snorkel sites. Reef Divers South Caicos is operated by a team of PADI and SSI certified dive professionals and has been providing memorable diving adventures for more than 25 years. A full inventory of Scubapro rental dive equipment is offered and nitrox is also available. Although daily boat diving itineraries focus primarily on the Admiral Cockburn National Park and surrounding areas, trips can also be organised to Grand Turk and East Caicos.
Reef Divers South Caicos operate a valet-style service that takes the hard work out of your diving experience by handling the heavy lifting and maintenance of your dive gear - from your first dive through to your last. The team will happily rinse, dry, and store your equipment daily, ensuring it’s ready and waiting for you the next day. The only finger you’ll have to lift is the one to point out your gear as you relax in the boat, ready to go diving. In addition to daily boat scuba diving trips and snorkeling excursions complete PADI and SSI dive instruction programs are also available.
