The Hole

The Hole is a natural limestone sinkhole located in the Long Bay Hills area of Providenciales.

This feature has a diameter of roughly 50 feet (15 m), and a depth of about 60 feet (18 m) to the brackish water below. The depth continues below the water's surface for around 25 feet (8 m) under the northern side of the hole. It’s highly likely that the depth at one point in history was much greater than it is today.

The Hole is semi-tidal, which suggests a partial connection to the ocean or nearby marine ponds of Juba Sound.

The Hole is simply a fascinating geological site. Much of the wall face on the edges of the feature exhibit overprinting by erosion factors and is decaying, yet a tunnel and cave features can still be seen on the southern side.
