Places in Grand Cayman That Still Have Me Daydreaming!
20
items We honeymooned in Grand Cayman for 15 days, and I still catch myself daydreaming about it. The beaches were unreal—soft white sand, the clearest turquoise water I’ve ever seen. Every day felt like magic, whether we were snorkeling, eating fresh seafo...

Where to Stay
We stayed in multiple places on Grand Cayman and had the pleasure of lounging in a few others!
The first night we dropped in GC, we splurged and it was so worth it! Private beach, lounge side service, themed dinners…
The Westin | Grand Cayman Seven Mile Beach Resort
Another lovely private beach with rentable cabanas. A lot of the hotels have restaurants where you can sit right in the sand.
Grand Cayman Marriott Resort
Our beloved rental for two weeks! Absolutely PERFECT! Stocked for everything you’d ever need. I’m talking coolers, pitchers, chairs…
AirBnb Condo | George Town, Grand Cayman
We had brunch here and where we met a few of our tour groups. Stunning resort! Landscape is immaculate and a place to sit and relax everywhere you look.
Kimpton Seafire Resort + Spa | Grand Cayman Resort
Places to Eat & Drink
Our favorite recommendations from walking around and picking by “vibes”. Do me a solid and order the painkiller. It's slaps so hard…
When you go here, get a table on the patio. You have a view of the harbor where all the ships come in and out!
The White Whale Pub | Cayman
One of our most frequented restaurants and where I fell in love with the Painkiller cocktail. So good I had to learn how to make it myself. You have a view off the pier over a great diving entry point
Macabuca Cracked Conch | West Bay, Grand Cayman
Favorite breakfast spot on the island! Right in the sand, very chic and private area. When you’re done eating, they have a couple of tables and lounges you can relax in if you hang around for beach activities.
Tillies | Seven Mile Beach, Grand Cayman
Another toes in the sand dinner surrounded by tiki torches. Get a reservation for sunset, it’ll take your breath away!
Coccoloba Mexican Street Food | Seven Mile Beach, Grand Cayman
We had a great little lunch here after a day of exploring. They had a whipped ricotta app that stole the show!
Kaibo Restaurant | Rum Point, Grand Cayman
Great local coffee spot! We had trouble trying to find it as it’s in an office building area but inviting, cool and hit the spot!
Water & the Elephant
Weird rec, right? But let me tell you, when you’re dog tired from a wonderful day in the ocean, nothing hit better than a great pizza. And this was a gem we stumbled upon.
XQ's - Pizza, Bar and Grill | Seven Mile Beach, Cayman Islands
First dinner stop on the island! Little upscale but still trendy and set the tone for the trip.
Saltwater Grill Bite Club | Grand Cayman
Things to Do
Endless possibilities for all budgets!
This beach had its own parking lot across the street with a shower cabana to rinse off at. This is the beach where we saw the most wildlife snorkeling! Great sized reefs here and we’re never bothered with too many people there.
Cemetery Beach and Reef | Grand Cayman
Great half day activity if you want to learn more about the turtle life on the island. You’ll see hundreds of them! And you have the opportunity to swim with them in the little lagoon.
Cayman Turtle Centre
Great secluded spot to explore!
Rum Point Beach | Rum Point, Grand Cayman
Once you get the right area, this place is a minefield of star fish!
Starfish Point | Rum Point, Grand Cayman
This was one of the coolest experiences we did! They drop you off at a sand bar in the middle of the ocean and these gentle giants actually HUG YOU!
Stingray City | Cayman Islands
Hands down, the best thing we did. Dice with these guys 3-4 days, 2-3 dives a day. Such a great group of people, know the area and just treat you like good friends!
Cayman Turtle Divers
Also known as “Turtle Beach” where the current was a tad strong BUT this is where we saw a natural turtle hatch and it was an experience I will never ever forget.
Spotts Beach | Grand Cayman
This is fun for the family! You get in a wetsuit with a float and watch the water come to life.
Bioluminescent Bay | Grand Cayman
