dmjw Posted March 29, 2006 #1 Share Posted March 29, 2006 How far is it to walk from where the cruise ships arrive and Sea Grape? Thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drew sailbum Posted March 29, 2006 #2 Share Posted March 29, 2006 Uh, guessing here, but about 4 to 5 miles. Better than that, walk about 3 blocks inland to the old library and take a omnibus to West Bay. Should cost only a couple dollars per person.

TheWog Posted March 31, 2006 #3 Share Posted March 31, 2006 Way too far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TravelWorks Posted April 1, 2006 #4 Share Posted April 1, 2006 At least 10-15 minutes in a moving taxi (going 35 miles an hour)... Way too far...unless you are a long distant runner in training...probably 7 or 8 miles...one way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

runner15km Posted July 24, 2006 #7 Share Posted July 24, 2006 The new bus terminal is located adjacent the Public Library on Edward St. in downtown George Town and serves as the dispatch point for buses to all districts. There are 38 mini-buses operated by 24 licensed operators, serving eight routes. Daily service starts at 6 a.m. from the depot and the schedule is as follows from George Town to: West Bay - every 15 minutes, 6 a.m. - 11 p.m., Sunday - Thursday; 6 a.m. - midnight, Fri. & Sat. Fare is CI$1.50 each way. Bodden Town - Every 30 minutes, 6 a.m. - 11 p.m., Sunday- Thurs.; 6 a.m. - midnight, Fri. & Sat. Fare is CI$1.50 each way. East End and North Side - Every hour, 6 a.m. - 9 p.m., Sunday - Thurs. and Saturday. On Friday, buses will operate until after Midnight. Fare: CI$2 each way. The new system uses colour - coded logos located on the front and rear of buses to identify routes as follows: Route 1 (yellow) and Route 2 (lime green) cover George Town to West Bay; Route 3 (blue) provides service between the depot in George Town and Bodden Town. Route 4 (purple) operates between the depot and East End. Route 5 (red) goes from the depot to East End and North Side. Route 6 (dark green) operates from North Side to West Bay. Route 7 (dark green with white numbers) is an inter-district service for George Town. Route 8 (orange) runs from the depot to Hutland in North Side. Licensed buses are identified by blue licence plates. To maintain consistency in fares, each bus must display a fare table outlining standard government-authorized fares.

runner15km Posted July 25, 2006 #10 Share Posted July 25, 2006 cruislovin, There are vans right at the tender pier that will take you to SeaGrape for 5-6 bucks ea. way. Much easier then walking over to the public bus station. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruislovin Posted July 25, 2006 #11 Share Posted July 25, 2006 Fantastic pictures - thanks! Which color bus route goes to Seven Mile Beach? We have been to Cayman many times and always take cabs. If we feel like it the day we are there we love to ride the bus with local folks. We have done this in other places and always find it a great, inexpensive way to travel about the island.
