Fun in the Sun

Seven Mile Beach: Often voted “The Caribbean’s Best Beach”, Seven Mile Beach is packed with most of Grand Cayman’s best hotels and condos and some of the best cuisine in the Caribbean. Try kayaking, kite surfing, jet-skiing, parasailing or paddle boarding, or simply relax on the glorious white sandy beach.

Rum Point Beach: For a tranquil day, head to the North Side of Grand Cayman, about 10 miles from George Town, where you can lounge in a hammock here in the shade of the Casuarina trees and snorkel and swim with sea turtles, sting rays, parrot fish and lobsters. Drop in to Wreck Bar and Grill where you can enjoy authentic island cuisine and cocktails.

Scuba Diving and Snorkeling

Crystal clear warm water, unbelievable visibility of 60 to 100 feet or more, pristine coral reefs, and about 1,000 species of fish and other marine life make Grand Cayman an unforgettable experience for snorkelers and divers.

The Cayman Islands have an abundance of unique ship wrecks that have become world-famous snorkel and dive sights. Due to strong currents and boat and jet ski traffic, consider booking your trip with a licensed operator.

  • The USS Kittiwake, previously a US Naval ship with five decks and endless rooms to explore, is located near the shore of Seven Mile Beach. It can be enjoyed by all skill levels of snorkelers and scuba divers.
  • The Oro Verde, an 84-foot steel cargo vessel, also rests in pieces in shallow water just offshore of Seven Mile Beach. See the spectacular marine life that inhabits the wreck, such as a massive jewfish named George, a moray eel known as Kermit, and a barracuda named Puff.
  • The wreck of the Cali, a 220-foot steel schooner, lies in pieces just 40 yards offshore of Central George Town. It’s an easy dive for beginners and a great snorkeling site since the wreck is only 20-30 feet deep.
