What it's like
Seven Mile Beach is a long crescent of coral-sand beach on the western end of Grand Cayman. It runs up the west coast north of George Town and is one of the island's best-known stretches of sand. Visitors come for the beach itself and the calm, clear water beside it.
A visit is simple. You can rest on the sand, swim, and eat at the beach restaurant, which rents chairs and umbrellas for a fee. Johnny cake and Cayman-style lobster are common in the small eateries nearby.
Good to know
- Renting chairs and umbrellas at the beach restaurant carries a fee, so bring cash or check the payment options there.
- Seven Mile Beach is a long beach, so you can walk a stretch of it away from the restaurant if you want quiet.
