About the beach

Seven Mile Beach runs along Grand Cayman's west coast between George Town and West Bay. It's a long crescent of soft sand with generally calm water, and it's where most of the island's resorts and condos are.

Access and public spots

Beaches in the Cayman Islands have public access paths along the stretch. Public Beach and Governor's Beach are popular, and Cemetery Beach at the north end is known for snorkeling.

Things to do

• Swimming and paddleboarding on calm days
• Snorkeling at Cemetery Reef
• Sunset watching (it faces west)
• Dining at Camana Bay, just inland

Getting there

Public buses run along West Bay Road, and taxis are widely available. Many visitors rent a car; remember Cayman drives on the left.
