Makth4 Posted May 23, 2022 #2 Share Posted May 23, 2022 Hi! We just did a cruise stop here today, from the North port. We walked outside of the cruise area and there was more vendors able to offer rides/ tours. We did a ride in a van, with others, it was $6/per person ( American dollar). I did overhear someone else say they flagged down a taxi for $2.50( I don't know their starting point). We all went to Public beach ( yes that is the name of the beach). There was vendors there renting chairs and umbrellas. Cost was between $15-$25 depending on if you tried to negotiate. A vendor was also selling soda and juice. There is a liquor store and bar, walking away from beach, to the right. Trafalgar place, I think it was called. We did not check this out, so I can't comment further. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was great! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kstetser Posted June 2, 2022 #7 Share Posted June 2, 2022 (edited) So do you think it would make sense to stop at a Grocery Store and get some snacks and then taxi to Public Beach for the day? How far of a walk is it to the food/drinks on the beach? Edited June 2, 2022 by kstetser new question Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TravellingBritNY Posted June 3, 2022 #8 Share Posted June 3, 2022 Depends on if there is a food truck there or not, and I don't know if they have a definite schedule. There really isn't much food and drink available there, so I would do the grocery store option, honestly. If you go to Kirk's you will find a great selection of cheeses for example (like real Cheddar from England!) - get some crackers, pepperoni, grapes or whatever and you have a nice picnic on your hands. 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SusieKIslandGirl Posted June 28, 2022 #9 Share Posted June 28, 2022 How easy was it to get a taxi/van back to the ship from the beach? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TravellingBritNY Posted June 28, 2022 #10 Share Posted June 28, 2022 (edited) For the bus you just walk to the road and when a bus comes along it will honk its horn and you wave to it, and it stops. Not sure whether it actually goes to the ship, though - you may have a short walk in George Town. As for a taxi, there is an app for your phone so you can at least calculate the fare. https://www.caymantransport.ky/cayman-islands-transportation-app Getting one may be a challenge, depending on where on SMB you are.

The Med Posted January 6, 2023 #11 Share Posted January 6, 2023 How often do the buses run to and from 7 mile beach? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bus schedules are just a suggestion, really, not a set thing. “Soon come” as the locals say…things tend to run on Island Time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
