Exciting Beach Recreation & Activities on Grand Cayman

Seven Mile Beach

Seven Mile Beach (SMB) is a long crescent of coral-sand beach on the western shore of Grand Cayman island. Despite its name, the beach is only about 5.5 miles (8.9 km) long. Seven Mile Beach is known for its beauty, recently receiving the honor of “The Caribbean’s Best Beach” from Caribbean Travel and Life Magazine and is a beautiful white sand beach and one of Grand Cayman’s greatest attractions. Guests enjoy exclusive access to the largest beach in Grand Cayman while having full access to the pool, beach and amenities (with charging privileges) at our sister property just few steps away.

You cannot miss swimming with the stingrays in their natural environment. This amazing water adventure will take you out to both the original North Sound Stingray City as well as to a shallow sandbar where you can comfortably stand (or run!) and interact with these beautiful marine creatures.
