Kaibo, Spanish Bay, or Rum Point- which to choose?

[michelethelibrarian]

Hi all, just wondering if I can get some opinions about any of these places. I’ve been to Grand Cayman once before and did the sting-rays already, so I’m looking for something different. There are several nice excursions available through the ship, each visiting one of these beaches. What do you think? Which would you choose?

Thanks so much in advance!

Spanish Bay does not have much of a sand beach. That part of the island has an ironshore (sharp rocks!) shoreline.

 

Kaibo is a quiet spot. There is a restaurant with bar, but thta's about it. It is tucked further back into the North Sound, so the water is not that crystal clear blue.

 

Rum Point is busier than Kaibo, but still much quieter than Seven Mile Beach. If you drive up, you can easily visit both spots. Rum Point has watersports rentals and is better for snorkeling. There is a gift shop at Rum Point as well.

There is an excursion to Rum Point, which DH would prefer to renting a car. (One of the reasons we like cruising is NO Driving!)

 

I really do appreciate your comments, especially about the beach conditions. Take care, M.
