Beachfront Resorts in Grand Cayman
From pristine white beaches along Seven Mile, and rather more windswept ones in East End, there are lots of resorts on the beach.
Grand Cayman is very blessed to have stunning hotels and resorts on the equally stunning Seven Mile Beach, however we also have two hotels in the district of East End (The Wyndham and the Morritts), and a one in Bodden Town (The Turtle Nest In). The beaches in East End and Bodden Town have a slightly more rugged and windswept feel to them, but they are charming and wonderful for people who want to get away from teh hustle and bustle of Seven Mile Beach.

Bodden Town
Bodden Town beach in Grand Cayman is a lesser-known coastal area characterised by its tranquility. Located on the island's southern coast, it offers a more secluded and serene environment compared to the more polished Seven Mile Beach. The beach features a mix of sand and rocky areas, with calm waters ideal for swimming and snorkeling. It's not as developed as other beaches, providing a more natural setting. Its unspoiled charm, and seagrass-strewn beaches attracts those seeking a quieter coastal experience away from the busier tourist areas.

Comprised of three Spanish style buildings, the apartment style accommodations offer fantastic self catering options for vacationing in the Cayman Islands. Choose between apartments (which are ideal for up to two guests), or condos (which can accommodate up to four!) – all are equipped with full kitchens, washer and dryers, wireless high-speed Internet - they will even loan you a rental car at no extra cost!
East End
The beach and coastline of East End has has a rugged beauty to it. Located on Grand Cayman's eastern tip, it is the area that gets the island's prevailing winds, and as a consequence the beaches, which are a mix of sandy and rocky, are invariably seagrass-strewn to some extent. Then after 1pm many are in the shade from the tall casuarina pine trees that hug this part of the coastline, especially when you hit one of the many patches that is undeveloped. You can swim and snorkel here but you will have to wade out a bit past the seagrass beds, and consider wearing flippers or watershoes as the seabed is rocky and can be sharp underfoot.
