alsa Posted March 17, 2019 #1 Share Posted March 17, 2019 Can anyone recommend somewhere to go for a day at the beach please - we have done Nachi Cocom in Cozumel and have been spoilt and are looking for something similar. Thanks. 😊 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bookbabe Posted March 17, 2019 #2 Share Posted March 17, 2019 You won’t find that kind of setup in Cayman. The two most popular spots for cruise ship visitors are Royal Palms and Calico Jacks/Public Beach. Those are both sections of Seven Mile Beach with good facilities, and you’ll find lots of info and reviews of both in this forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted March 29, 2019 #3 Share Posted March 29, 2019 In GC, you really don't need a "resort" pass. All of the beaches are public....and all of the entry points have chair/umbrella rentals. You can do GC pretty easily on your own. The bus will drop you anywhere you tell them to, along 7 Mile Beach. So easy and inexpensive! $2.50 pp!

CruisingMom77 Posted April 2, 2019 #4 Share Posted April 2, 2019 Are there many entry points to Seven Mile Beach? On the map it looks as if it was resort after resort, and they look private properties. Besides Calico Jacks and Royal Palms are there any other access points where we can easily walk to the beach from the bus? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides Calico Jacks and Royal Palms are there any other access points where we can easily walk to the beach from the bus? There are many public access points along the Seven Mile Beach corridor. Most are just a pathway to the water from the road, likely in-between resorts or condos. There are also spots like Governor's Beach and Cemetery Beach where there's a bit more actual beach area, but no facilities (restrooms, etc.) for public use. You can access the beach from anywhere, even through one of the hotels, but you won't have access to facilities except at spots like Calico Jacks (Public Beach) and Royal Palms where they are intentionally catering to cruise visitors.

princeton123211 Posted April 3, 2019 #6 Share Posted April 3, 2019 We've headed down to the area by the Ritz Carlton before-- theres a little pool bar you can get into. The beach is full of their umbrellas which are reserved for their guests but the beach is technically public. The second time we were in port a couple years ago we didn't depart until 9pm so we took full advantage and got a room at the Ritz for the day which gave us full access to the property. We were able to use the pool and charge things back to the room. It ended up being north of $400 for the day (they gave us a small discount since we weren't staying the night) but we both agreed it was worth is given we had full run of the resort. I dont know if I would have done the same thing if we had to head back to the ship by 4pm though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
