The Best Beaches

  • Seven Mile Beach: Did we already mention that Caribbean beaches don't get much better than Seven Mile Beach on Grand Cayman? The powdery sands here are litter- and souvenir hawker-free, and are set against a backdrop of resorts, beach bars, restaurants, and shops. This is the Miami Beach of the Caribbean.

  • Rum Point: This secluded white-sand beach is 40km (25 miles) north of George Town, on Grand Cayman. Although it cannot compare to spectacular Seven Mile Beach, this excellent tree-shaded beach has tranquil, gin-clear waters that teem with rainbow-hued fish, making it great for snorkeling.

  • Southwest Coast of Cayman Brac: A series of nearly deserted white-sand beaches on Cayman Brac is anchored on the southwest coast. These are small and relatively undiscovered beaches that remind many visitors of the Caribbean "the way it used to be." Book into the Brac Reef Beach Resort and you'll be able to walk straight from your room to the sands.

  • Point of Sand: At the southeastern tip of Little Cayman is the best beach on the island, with a strip of luminescent pink sand. Point of Sand is also ideal for snorkeling. On many weekdays you'll have much of the beach to yourself.
