7 mile beach / quieter spot for adults?

[rome2009]

Does anyone know if there are spots on 7 mile beach where it is mostly adults, or fewer people?

We are looking to go to Cemetery Beach. You can take the bus line there. There are no amenities there however but that can be a plus :)

Don't believe so. It is further north, as in a couple miles. We are going for first time next month as we want a quieter beach with good snorkeling.

Yes, it's a section at the far end of 7MB from the port area.

Is it safe to go there alone?

Is it safe to go there alone?

 

Probably as safe as staying on the ship. ;)

Cemetery Beach is great! Went there October '09 on our cruise. Took a public bus there (about $2.00 each way). Very easy and never felt unsafe. No missing it, there is a cemetery (hence the name) right along the road and a path to the beach beside it. There is a bus stop area just in front of the cemetery. When we were there, it was us and one other couple. We snorkeled quite a bit and just relaxed. I've attached some pictures.

How long did it take you to get there?

Maybe 10-15 minutes

When we were there (Royal Palms/7 Mile), there was maybe 10 other people total in our vacinity (I'd say maybe 20-25 yards on either side of us).

The number or people will depend on the number of ships scheduled to call on Grand Cayman that day. One trip we counted the ships, multiplied by the number of passengers and figured we did not want to batlle 25,000 plus people so we stayed on board. When we were at Royal Palms last January there wasn't a chair to be had - wall to wall people and there were only 3 ships in port.

You can check how many other ships will be in port and their max passenger load on the Port Authority's Ship Schedule web site for the date of your visit.
