Cayman Islands Beaches Guide

If you’re looking for a secluded beach in the Cayman Islands, Starfish Point is the perfect getaway. This beach is located on the island’s North side, just southwest of Rum Point. Visitors can get to this small beach area by car or boat. Many boat tours stop off at Starfish Point to see the beach’s main attraction: starfish. The beach itself is small and is surrounded by calm shallow waters. A few feet from shore, the seabed drops to about ten feet. While visitors can usually see some of the starfish in the shallow waters, most are hidden in the deeper waters. Make sure to bring your snorkel or join a boat tour to view the starfish in the depths of the water.

Located in the Northern part of Seven Mile Beach, and technically part of it, Cemetery Beach is still worth mentioning on its own. The name comes from the old cemetery that stands just behind the beach. This small stretch of Seven Mile Beach is one of the few areas with decent snorkeling. There are some reefs located a bit off the coast, so experienced snorkelers can swim out about 60 yards and see a variety of sea life. The water just off the shore is shallow and perfect for swimming, but as swimmers get farther away, the depth drops to about twenty feet. This beach is ideal for visitors who wish to stay on Seven Mile Beach but avoid the crowds.

Beach Amenities: Portable Restrooms, No Rentals Available, and Roadside Public Parking.
