Grand Cayman Beach?

[cruisetux11]

Sailing on the Mariner this weekend, and want to do a beach at Grand Cayman but most of the stuff I see is stingray kindof stuff and I don't necessarily want to do that

 

Any suggestions?? please :)

We got a cabana at Royal Palms for the day. They have beach and pool ones. Cab was cheap from the dock. Was a great day and easy on your own excursion.

 

One thing is the prices are in CI dollars. Multiply the price by 1.25 to get USD.

Believe it or not, Seven Mile beach is quite lovely. There are plenty of places that offer lounge chairs, umbrelllas, drinks, etc. for a reasonable price. The beach can be rocky, but only right by the waterl. My DH and I spent a fantastic day there last year -- walked from the port to a beach access (a couple of miles), walked a short way down the beach, rented a couple of chairs, and spent an amazing few hours just relaxing, drinking beers, swimming, and listening to great music from the bar behind us.

 

Have fun!!

Another vote for Royal Palms. We did our own excursion while cruising with Disney in December. The Pina Coladas are like a dessert....YUM!

7 mile beach the most beautiful beach we have been to. Snorkel 60 feet out off the shore and followed stingrays, and all sorts of fish for hours. Love it!

What's not to believe? :)

 

We loved Seven Mile. Took a cab to one of the hotels that offered beach access, with chairs and a drink. It was heavenly. (It was a few years back; I think it was the Holiday Inn, but there are several hotels along the beach that offer this). There were also water toys and changing rooms. The water is incredibly clear and blue.

 

Advice: arrive early (9-9:30 AM) and have the beach mostly to yourself. Crowds start to grow by noon.

 

Have fun!

We love Cayman, hence the username. When you get off the ship, grab a cab and have it take you to Governor's Beach. There aren't chairs but it is a clean, beautiful beach with great snorkeling. We were there last week and jumped on the public transportation van, for our family of 4 the cost was US$10 one way. Look for a bus with a #1 or #2 sticker. They run periodically so it wouldn't be hard to catch one back to the port either.

Another vote for Seven Mile beach. We happened upon it during our first cruise. Did the stringrays and the bus broke down on the way back to the ship. We decided to get off and stroll down the beach on the way back to the ship. We ended up spending hours enjoying the beach. Very nice!

Evidently we are on the same sailing. It's almost here!

We went to Sea Grape Beach last time which is on the seven mile beach strip. I don't believe there is an excursion. It wasn't really crowded and very pretty. The down side is that Sea Grape is the last beach on seven mile beach so, it takes a few minutes longer to get there and back, back I just talking 5 more minutes.

We love just doing Seven mile Beach.

After seeing the pics we will be def. be spending our time at the 7 mile beach :)
