Quote: Grand Cayman Photo - Seven Mile Beach, Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands The simplest way to describe this is just Beautiful! We took a taxi, which was really a bus, from the pier for $5 per person to the section called Public Beach. From there we could have walked to other sections but we were in a hurry to get in the beautiful blue water so just headed into the roped off swimming area. The water was wonderful such a pretty blue and the sand was as white as snow. We had no more gotten in the water when we saw a school of Angel Fish and later out in the deeper water we came upon a group of squid. The squid didn’t seem too concerned with our presence and we spent along time swimming above them trying to get a picture. We were there for several hours and a lot of people came and went but the beach or water was never crowded. A tent renting snorkeling gear was on the beach at the entrance, we brought our own so I don’t know the cost of rentals. At the top of the parking lot was a bar and grill, we had intended to try some local food from there but had so much fun in the water we forgot all about eating. Changing rooms and restrooms were also available near the parking lot along with sheltered picnic tables. When it came time to leave we had no problem getting a taxi/bus back to the pier, again $5 per person. This was the prettiest beach I have ever seen and we had a wonderful, relaxing afternoon.

Quote: This is a wonderful beach! With clear water you can see the marine life just looking at it. You can rental the snorkel equipment, so you will be able to see clearly what's under the sea. The beach is not crowded, which is great to relax and have some space for yourself!

Quote: A private hut on the beach Photo - Seven Mile Beach, Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands

The best public beach I have seen! The sand is great, not to many rocks or shells, there are some spots with coral and rocks closer to the port end of the beach and many people brought their own snorkeling equipment to check out some of the coves. There are private homes and hotels along the beach but unlike others, they have not sectioned off portions for themselves so you can walk from end to end. It is best to get near the hotels, but the closer you get to the hotels the more crowded it gets as well. From the port it is walkable, just hang a left on the main road (church street) and start walking, it took about 35 minutes to walk to a suitable place to layout, we were by the Quality Suites hotel, the closest one to the port.

There were places to rent snorkeling equipment, jet skis, and other water sports places all along the walk and down the beach as well. The hotel bars and restaurants were all accessible from the beach to get something to eat. One of the strangest things were noticed was that many of the people working at the hotels and restaurants were Canadian, not many Cayman natives or British (as the island is British). Overall at great place to relax for a few hours if you don't want to spend money or do any shore excursions, and you get the great Caribbean beach views and bright blue water.

Quote: Empty Beach in South Sound Photo - Seven Mile Beach, Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands Be warned the cruise ships dock in town on Tuesday/Wednesday/Thursday and the shops are packed with tourists looking for deals. We were given the tip to avoid the town these days and it paid off as there was little traffic and the stores were not congested. We weren’t much up for shopping – we figured we could get just about everything we wanted/needed back home.

We did find a nice shop in the south part of Georgetown called Pure Art. This little house has been converted to a shop selling local art from Cayman Island residents and other nearby Caribbean islands. It’s a very quaint shop with LOTS of little treasures.

Also, just south of Georgetown on our way back to the East Side, we found a small deserted beach with dock near the Queen's Monument in the South Sound (just south of the airport).

Quote: 7 Miles Beach, Grand Cayman Photo - Seven Mile Beach, Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands A 10-minute ride away from Georgetown, 7 Mile Beach is really lovely. Despite having three ships in port, the beach was not crowded (most people probably went on excursions). Now, this is not really a palm-tree-lined beach - it is more of a big stretch of sand surrounded by pines, flowers and bushes. And those pines seem to attract a lot of visitors, since we were entertained by some songbirds. Which are numerous and very vocal. The water was warm and calm, the sun was playing peek-a-boo with the clouds… a nice place for a beach day. Justin and I will soon go on our “coral hunt” (don’t worry folks, I’m talking about dead coral). We never really were into the “bring a souvenir T-shirt” thing. We like to bring things that are really part of our destination. And since Grand Cayman is made of limestone, we will bring back coral and seashells.
