Hotels in The Cayman Islands Wherever you choose to vacation in The Cayman Islands, you're sure to receive a warm welcome. If it's luxury you crave, Grand Cayman has some of the finest beachfront hotels anywhere in the Caribbean. Planning to spend time with family? Taking a well earned break with friends? Attending a conference or business meeting? Taking an annual vacation with loved ones? Choose your budget or luxury Grand Cayman hotel accommodation from the wide range of major hotel brands and independently operated hotels. Despite the emergence of Grand Cayman as a major tourism destination in the 1990s, don't go to the Cayman Islands expecting fast-paced excitement. Island life focuses on the sea. Snorkelers will find a paradise, beach lovers will relish the powdery sands of Seven Mile Beach, but party-hungry travelers in search of urban thrills might be disappointed. Come to slow down and relax Today's Caymans are seasoned with suburban prosperity (particularly Grand Cayman, where residents joke that the national flower is the satellite dish) and stuffed with crowds (the hotels that line the famed Seven Mile Beach are often full, even in the slow summer season). Most of the 44,000 Cayman Islanders live on Grand Cayman and the cost of living is at least 20% higher here than in the United States, but you won't be hassled by panhandlers or feel afraid to walk around on a dark evening (the crime rate is very low). Add political and economic stability to the mix, and you have a fine island recipe indeed.

Cayman Islands' Best Beaches Grand Cayman The island of Grand Cayman is blessed with many fine beaches. These are the very best. Conch Point - Grand Cayman. Drive past Spanish Bay Reef and Papagallo until the road starts to disappear, at which point you can see an often-deserted beach, a great place to walk. Unfortunately, it's not so good for swimming because of the shallow water and rocky bottom, and it can be cluttered at times with seaweed and debris. Conch Point Rd., Barkers, Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands. East End Beaches - Grand Cayman. Just drive along and look for any sandy beach. Park your car and enjoy a stroll. The stretch by the Reef Resort is a good one. Queen's Hwy., East End, Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands. Rum Point - Grand Cayman. This North Sound beach has shade, hammocks, a restaurant, and snorkel gear rentals. Because it's protected by a barrier reef, snorkeling is safe and the sand is soft. The bottom remains shallow for a long way from shore but the bottom is littered with small coral heads, so kids shouldn't wrestle in the water here. Take the ferry from the Hyatt or drive; it's especially popular on Sunday. Start from here for a fast trip to Stingray City Sandbar. North Side, Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands. Seven Mile Beach - Grand Cayman. Grand Cayman's west coast is dominated by the famous Seven Mile Beach -- actually a 5½-mi (9-km) -long expanse of powdery white sand. Though the width of the beach varies, Hurricane Ivan has widened it tremendously; toward the south end it narrows and disappears altogether, leaving only rock and ironshore. The beach starts to widen into its normal silky softness anywhere between Tarquyn Manor and the Reef Grill at Royal Palms. Free of litter and peddlers it's an unspoiled (though sometimes crowded) environment. Most of the island's resorts, restaurants, and shopping centers are along this strip. At the public beach toward the north end you can find chairs for rent ($10 for the day, including a beverage) and plenty of water toys, two beach bars, restrooms, and showers. West Bay Rd., Seven Mile Beach, Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands. Smith's Cove - Grand Cayman. South of the Grand Old House, this small beach is a popular bathing and snorkeling spot and a wonderful location for a beach wedding. The bottom drops off quickly enough to allow you to swim and play close to shore. Although the beach can be a little rocky, there's little to no debris or coral heads, and there are restrooms and parking. Off S. Church St., George Town, Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands. South Sound Cemetery Beach - Grand Cayman. A narrow, sandy driveway takes you past the small cemetery to a perfect beach. The dock here is primarily used by dive boats during winter storms. You can walk in either direction; the water is calm and clear, the sand is soft and clean. You'll definitely find no crowds. S. Sound Rd., George Town, Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands. Water Cay - Grand Cayman. If you want an isolated, unspoiled beach, bear left at Rum Point on the north side and follow the road to the end. When you see a soft, sandy beach, stop your car. Wade out knee deep and look for the large orange starfish. (Don't touch -- just look.) North Side, Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands. Cayman Brac Much of the Brac's coastline is ironshore, though there are several pretty sand beaches, mostly along the southwest coast (where swimmers will also find extensive beds of turtle grass). In addition to the hotel beaches, where everyone is welcome, there is a public beach with good access to the reef; it's well marked on tourist maps. The north-coast beaches, predominantly rocky ironshore, offer excellent snorkeling. Little Cayman Owen Island - Little Cayman. This private island can be reached by rowboat, kayak, or an ambitious 200-yard swim. Anyone is welcome to come across and enjoy the deserted beaches. Point o' Sand - Little Cayman. On the easternmost point of the island, this secluded beach is great for wading, shell collecting, and snorkeling. On a clear day you can see 7 miles across to Cayman Brac.
