Beach Notes

The entire island is only 22 miles wide from west to east, so you are never too far from anywhere on Grand Cayman.

The homes in Northside offer great reef-protected snorkeling. The beaches in Northside can have plenty of white sand, but can also be pebbly or “ironshore” with natural rock formations. Either way, with the abundant marine life we have in the water, you will want to wear foot protection (pool shoes or fins). The prevailing trade winds from the east also make flying insects less of a nuisance—many of the homes on Northside don’t even need a screened porch.

In northside we have a primary school, a health clinic with ambulance service, a post office, and a small grocery store for the essentials. Closer to Old Man Bay is Over the Edge restaurant, a great casual restaurant with good food and reasonable prices.

From the northside, it's an easy 10-minute drive to Rum Point, as well as a 10-15 minute drive to The Lighthouse restaurant, Tukka restaurant in the east end, and the two east end resorts—Morritts and The Reef. Both resorts offer bars, restaurants, pools, watersports, a grocery store, and local lunch spots.

General Grand Cayman Beach Notes

All beaches in Grand Cayman are technically “public” since the Queen owns up to the high watermark and the shoreline quality behind your property may vary seasonally. Be advised that the beach or water entry behind your property may vary slightly from the images on our website because of the weather. The next-door beach is also always available for your use.

Ocean Debris and Sargassum Seaweed

Beaches in Grand Cayman may also experience floating ocean debris and sargassum weed seasonally. Sargassum is a generally harmless floating seaweed that has increased in frequency in recent years. Although sargassum is an unsightly nuisance, it is largely seasonal in summer. The owners do make efforts to remove heavy sargassum and will have the beach raked prior to your arrival. We try our best to work around mother nature.
