Seven Mile Beach is the Cayman Islands' best-known beach, running along the west coast of Grand Cayman between the capital, George Town, and West Bay, about 4 km in a straight line north of George Town. Despite its name it is a little shorter than seven miles, but it is one of the longest and loveliest beaches in the region. Its sand is soft and white, made of crushed coral, and the turquoise water in front is clear and calm most of the year, as the west coast is sheltered from the prevailing winds. The entire beach is public and open to all, backed by hotels, restaurants and homes. Visitors come to swim and relax, snorkel near the reefs at either end, try water sports such as sailing and paddling, and watch the sunset over the sea. You can walk the sand for long distances, and boat trips leave from the beach for the coral reefs. The beach is public and free. The sun is strong, so bring reef-safe sun cream; early mornings are quietest, and sunset is one of the finest times of day here.
