A Cayman Islands seaside vacation is made up of three elements. Swimming and beach vacations, surfing and diving. The coral reefs that make up the islands provide ideal conditions for any of these activities.
The Cayman Islands are divided into distinct beach zones, each accompanied by hotels that offer all the essential amenities for an exceptional seaside vacation.
One such zone is Seven Mile Beach, located on the west coast of Grand Cayman. Despite its abundance of hotels and restaurants, this beach boasts a nine-kilometer stretch of pristine white sand. It's a favorite among families due to its gentle waters, perfect for children, while also offering suitable conditions for surfers.
A similar situation can be found at West Bay Semeteri, just north of Seven Mile Beach. However, at Smith Cove Beach, the coastline is rocky with significant gradients, making it less suitable for inexperienced swimmers.
Along the east coast of the Cayman Islands, you'll find a fascinating mix of black sand beaches and pristine coral white shores. Some of the best places to unwind on these beaches include Lower Bay, East Point, Colliers Bay, Spotter's Point, and the ever-popular resort area of Ram Point on Grand Cayman.
A trip to the Cayman Islands with a seaside vacation is incomplete without diving. The Cayman Islands offer some of the best dive sites, including locations like Victoria House, Sand Cay, North Wall, Stingray Sandbar, and Water Reef.
In Little Cayman, beach areas are primarily concentrated on the shores of the small, private Owen Island.
