The Beach is, without a doubt, Cayman’s best natural resource and it provides an easy way to keep the whole family entertained. From building sand castles along Seven Mile Beach to combing shores further afield. Camana Bay is a great option with two fountains to play in, the observation tower to climb, a harbour island, landscaped courtyards and the Rise to explore. SEE
