Seven Mile Beach
In the west of Grand Cayman island, you’ll find the rolling Seven Mile Beach, a stunningly beautiful sandy beach which, despite its name, covers only some 6.2 miles. It is, however, one of the most attractive beaches in the Caribbean. In addition to the hotels, apartment blocks, B&Bs, bungalow complexes and villas, you will also find the ornate home of the island governor.
Seven Mile Beach is the largest holiday resort in the Cayman Islands and is directly north of the capital George Town and south of the second largest city on the island, West Bay. Not only beach lovers are drawn here, but also water sports experts and snorklers, who can experience the warm and relatively meek water worlds via the offshore reef. The reef itself is very popular with divers – around a dozen diving schools offer their services to tourists on the Cayman Islands. A highlight for divers since the beginning of the 1980s has been the wreck of the Oro Verde smuggler’s ship, sunk to an average depth of 35 feet, which is suitable for extensive afternoon or night diving.
