Before booking your flight to Grand Cayman (or any destination), it’s imperative to know what you’re going to do when you arrive. Fortunately, this Caribbean island is full of fabulous activities and sights, so you shouldn’t have any problem filling your itinerary, whether you’re here for a weekend or a week. That said, not all attractions are created equally, and some are more popular than others. If it’s your first time on Grand Cayman, here are the must-visit spots on the island to cross off your bucket list. Best of all, they’re all easily accessible from South Bay Beach Club, the premier resort destination on the island.
Seven-Mile Beach
If you want something quick and convenient, it doesn’t get any better than Seven-Mile Beach. South Bay Beach Club is located on the southern tip of this world-famous stretch of sand, so you can simply walk out the door and be there. Best of all, the beach has mild waves and relatively few crowds, so you can explore as much as you like without having to fight for a spot near the water.
Crystal Caves
While the beach is one major reason for visiting Grand Cayman, the island is full of natural wonders. None is quite as mesmerizing as the Crystal Caves, though, which are located on the northern edge of the island. The caves are only about 40 minutes from South Bay, and taking a guided tour is the best way to learn about their geological significance and history.
Stingray City
The crystal blue waters surrounding Grand Cayman aren’t just pretty to look at; they’re also teeming with wildlife. One of the best places to get up close and personal with these sea creatures is at Stingray City. Plus, it’s less than 10 minutes from South Bay Beach Club, making it even more convenient. Here, you can swim with stingrays and other sea life while learning about the delicate ecosystem of the island.
Kittiwake Wreck and Artificial Reef
While swimming in shallow waters with stingrays is a lot of fun, there’s something extra special about diving under the waves and exploring a shipwreck. The Kittiwake is one of the best snorkeling sites on Grand Cayman because it’s full of exotic fish, and the wreckage is fun to explore. Although other snorkeling spots around the island are open to the public, this shipwreck isn’t, so you have to book a tour with a snorkeling company.
Experience Grand Cayman From South Bay Beach Club
As you cross excursions and adventures off your travel itinerary, you need a comfortable and luxurious space in which to rest and recover. South Bay Beach Club is one of the best resorts on the island, especially because it’s located on Seven Mile Beach. When you’re ready to experience Grand Cayman, we’re ready to host you.
