Mkripke Posted February 3, 2014 #1 Share Posted February 3, 2014 We will be on Grand Cayman in November and none of the ships excursions interest us. We would like to take a cab to a nice beach and relax on a chair with a few drinks. Can anyone recommend the best one for us? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marie51 Posted February 3, 2014 #2 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Just take a cab to 7 mile beach. The cab drivers know where to drop you off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dfault Posted February 6, 2014 #4 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Just returned home from Grand Cayman on the Ruby Princess when you exit the port there are many taxi drivers offering rides to various beaches We agreed to go to the public beach for $5/person There were around 8 passengers from our ship already in the van when we got in It is about a ten minute ride When we arrived at the beach, the driver dropped us off at a beach club that charged an entry fee. When we questioned him , he said the public beach is over there.... over where ? There were fences all around. We were all confused and upset. He left us there and drove away He was arrogant and didn't try to explain we were left there on our own to figure it out PLEASE be very careful to notice where you are being dropped off in Grand Cayman They just wanted our money and to be rid of us It might not have been so bad if I didnt have elderly parents with me and another group had a little baby We walked down the beach a while and found a nice area to relax The beach was great and the water was warm and crystal clear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They ask you what time to return for pick up and this way your guaranteed that they'll come back to get you because they want their money. If that's not the way it works I will be definitely be taking the bus!:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
