Green Parrot Bar

Morritz's is the biggest and oldest resort in East End. Open to the public is the restaurant and beach bar. Dine out on the water with the kids and hop in for a snorkel with the fish

Morritt's Resorts

One of Cayman's most famous public beaches - and for good reason. It's got beach chairs and hammocks, restaurants, a beach bar, water sports and equipment rentals, and ample parking. The perfect beach for a day out with the kids or friends. You can head out with a snorkel to see the amazing Coral Gardens, Kayak to the Bioluminecense Bay, or just chill on the beach with Cayma's famous Mudslide cocktail. 

Rum Point Beach

This was my favorite beach to visit. Tons of seating. Lots of space. Gorgeous view. Decent amount of natural shade if you’re into that. Lots of great energy here, always worth the trip. Pro tip: if you say “It’s rum-day” to the bartender you get 10% off your first drink

Stingray City, Grand Cayman

4 years to one of my favorite days ever ever 🏝 🐠

Kitesurf Cayman, West Bay, Cayman Islands

Rum point public beach

Step into a waterfront restaurant and feel like you're in Australia! This Ozzy inspired eatery has amazing and fresh seafood, kid friendly options and delicious sliders. There are bird feeding every Sunday and everyone is welcome to join!

Tukka

This was my go to spot when I needed a good happy hour. Nice island vibe here and a pretty good liquor menu

A fun beach restaurant on a public beach where you can find some starfish or just have a cocktail. Parking on site and very kid friendly. 

Kaibo Beach Bar & Grill

there's a place right on the beach where you can rent paddleboards. The water is really calm there so it's great to take the kids. You can paddle all the way around to Starfish point. Watch out for little jellies in the water though (they don't swing too bad but might be itchy for little kids). 

Take your kids (toddlers and babies included!) to swim with the starfish in this wild public beach. You can take pictures with the starfish, just don't forget hold them IN the water. 
parking is available on site.

Starfish Point

There's hardly any shade so don't forget your sunscreen!

Look out onto hell.... or at least evil looking limestone rock formations and then hop into the post office and send home a postcard... from hell. 

Hell, Grand Cayman

VIVO Cafe Restaurant

Public beach in westbay. Some parking available.  A public cabana can be booked in advance for free. This is the spot to head out diving to the Kittiwake. 

West Bay Beach

If you want the best LOCAL food on the island, head over to the Heritage Kitchen, a little shack by the water, where a local grandma (she's ok with the title) cooks whatever they fish that day. Dining is outside on the picnic tables, so expect it to be hot, but worth every bite. 

Heritage Kitchen

Beautiful Public beach which gets its name from the west beach cemetery which sits alongside the beach. There are some trees and a picnic table, ample parking. It's a great beach which tends to be less busy. Hop in the water and snorkel with turtles, stingreys and see the Caribbean fish right off the shore!

Cemetery Beach

Dive at the sunken Kittiwake to explore a "deserted ship" and observe the gorgeous man-made reef. This is one of the the only diving sites in Cayman you need a permit for, so sign up for the dive either online or through a diving company.  If you prefer to snorkel, just head out from West Bay public beach (it's doable, albeit a bit of a swim). Just be careful of the diving boats!

Eats Cafe Legendz Bar

If you're looking for a diner-style breakfast (or lunch or dinner), this is the place for you. Expect a line out the door on the weekends but it moves relatively fast. It offers a basic kids menu, and had some high chairs. 

If you're looking for the best sushi on island, you've come to the right place. Signature cocktails are a must, as is the veggie Cupcake roll (trust me.) Service is friendly and they are accommodating to children.  Reservation needed in the evening.
