Seven Mile Beach

Grand Cayman’s Seven Mile Beach Stretches from George Town all the way north to Boggy Sand Road.

Seven Mile Beach is famed and has won several travellers awards for its soft white sand beach that gently sloping into the calm blue Caribbean sea. Camana Bay and the Ritz-Carlton have connected the beach with the North Sound using shaded pathways, canals and bridges to combine the best of boating and beach life.

Throughout the week Seven Mile Beach remains tranquil, but at the weekend it can get a little busier but there’s room for everyone to have fun and relax, the warm sea is still cool enough to be refreshing whether snorkelling, paddleboarding or diving the site of the Kittiwake or any of the other numerous dive sites on the west side of Cayman.
