The powder white sand beaches of the island is one main reason why tourists opt to have their Grand Cayman vacations. The most famous of them is the Seven Mile Beach which dominates the west coast and is a 9 kilometer stretch of powder fine white sand where the majority of Grand Caymans famous resorts and restaurants are located. At the Seven Mile Beach, you can swim or sunbathe or otherwise find water sports centers that offer water craft and sports such as parasailing and snorkeling. A public beach, the West Bay Public Beach can be found on another section of the Seven Mile Beach that is less populated with entertainment venues and is therefore quieter. One good place to snorkel is Rum Point at the North Sound that is shielded by a barrier reef. Other beaches on Grand Cayman are Smiths Cove, South Sound Cemetery Beach, Water Cay, Sunrise Villas Secluded Beach, Spots Beach and the West Bay Public Beach. The beach is almost always a guarantee of ultimate enjoyment and these Cayman beaches are no exception.
