TravelTalkOnline Forums Travel and Vacation Forums Cayman Islands One day to spend !

We'll be on a cruise in April and we have a stop in GC. We want to spend the day on the beach,is 7 miles beach the best we can do ? If so, wich part ? Good for snorkling? Is it far from Georgetown ? We'll we need to take a taxi ? Thanks !

For a first visit to GC, take a 1/2 excursion to Stingray City. After you return to town, get a taxi to Cemetery Reef in West Bay. Arrange for the taxi to pick you up in a few hours. There's a small footpath at the end of the cemetery that takes you to the beach. The reef is about 100 yards swim from the beach.

Thanks a lot ! Funny, those were the two things that were appealing to me while I was doing research about GC ! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Thumbsup.gif" alt="" />

If the ship is tendering there at the main square pier. There is also very good snorkeling at Eden Rock. Maybe 3 to 5 blocks from the pier. No beach but good snorkeling.

Eden Rock will also rent snorkel gear. There's a ladder to enter the water, and a fresh water shower near it to rinse off.

The restaurant there is good also. Have a drink or something to eat after snorkeling.

Thank you all for your advice !
