With crystalline blue waters surrounding all of Grand Cayman’s 22 miles, there are an enviable number of waterfront restaurants serving up incredible views across the island.

Spending the day browsing George Town’s various duty free shops and markets? Refuel with a bite to eat and a view of George Town’s bustling harbour.

Sunset chasers should head to Seven Mile Beach where there’s no shortage of happy hour spots dishing out delicious food and drink specials, or, if you’re adventuring out east, make a stop at one of the sleepy seaside fish shacks dotted along the coast.

Below are some of our favourite restaurants... with a view of course.

During a dinner at Cracked Conch, the sunset backdrop provides a very special setting for a your very special occasion. You'll also hear the sound of waves lapping on the ironshore as you dine.

Macabuca sits on the rugged ironshore in West Bay and has panoramic views of the ocean. Being so close to shore, make sure to take your snorkelling gear and hop in after your lunch at Macabuca to see some beautifully coloured fish.

Lunch with a view of Seven Mile Beach is hard to be beaten, and at LUCA, you get one of the best expanses out there. As you tuck into your favourite Italian dish, you'll find it hard to tear your eyes away from the blue hues.

A little further south of George Town, Grand Old House provides an enviable view across the water as you dine by the ironshore and experience the rugged beauty of Cayman's natural coastline.

Tukka East is perfect for a relaxed afternoon by the sea. Tuck into tacos, Australian favourites and delicious cocktails as you feel the breeze off the water. You'll see frigate birds flying above, and don't forget to look out at the Wreck of the Ten Sail - ask your server for binoculars for the best view!

With its stunning waterfront setting right at the start of Cayman’s famous Seven Mile Beach, The Wharf, known for its delicious cuisine, award-winning wine list, impeccable service and nightly tarpon feeding has been a top dining destination for over 30 years.

Known as one of the islands' most beloved spots, you must take a trip to Sunset House and visit Seaharvest Restaurant and My Bar. Sitting under the thatched roof outdoor bar, or along the wall that lines the beautiful sea, with a fresh cocktail in hand, is when you really feel like you've arrived in the Caribbean.

Agua sits on Camana Bay's waterfront. You can sit on the breezy terrace by the marina, or inside in the A/C, either way, you'll be blown away by their food.

Kaibo Beach Restaurant

Contemporary Caribbean

Kaibo is a very special place in North Side. Take a water taxi and land on their designated dock before sitting on the sand and enjoying some Caribbean-inspired cuisine.

Morgan's

Seafood

At the Cayman Islands Yacht Club, old-time favourite Morgan's sits on the water's edge serving classic dishes in a beautiful setting.

NOVA

Mediterranean-Japanese Fusion

At Nova, you can relax and savour the distinctive flavours of Mediterranean-Japanese fusion on West Bay's shore.

Bacaro

Italian

Italian tapas restaurant and wine bar, set in the idyllic surroundings of Cayman Islands Yacht Club.

If the view from Calypso Grill's blue French patio doors doesn't take your breath away, the food will.

Casanova is a lovely Italian restaurant with fantastic views, delightful food and a welcoming atmosphere on the water.

George Town Yacht Club

Caribbean International

Located on the waterfront at The Barcadere Marina, it's the perfect place to enjoy lunch or dinner in George Town.

Rum Point Club

Casual Beachfront Fare

Newly renovated Rum Point Club offers an island escape to the north side of Cayman. Being the home of the Mudslide, their cocktails are delicious and their pizzas are some of the best!
