Beach within walking distance

I'm pretty sure that's the spot that is blocked off. There is a gate with a do not enter sign. (Maybe even locked if I remember right.) I think it's near where boats come in. Maybe someone else can confirm?

Just hop on the bus and get off anywhere along 7-mile beach.....the bus is $2.50 pp, so not a wallet breaker...and when you're done, walk the few steps back to the road, and the next bus will stop for you.

The small spot of beach in the OP's attached image is used on occasion, with permission of the port, for pickup of passengers for some ship sponsored scuba diving activities. It is not open to the public.

For a proper stretch of sand beach catch a ride down to Seven Mile Beach.

There is no beach within a toddler-able walk that I would let toddlers play on.

So agree with the above! No way the little ones would be able to walk there. ;)

I would consider catching a cab over to Smith Cove/Embarcadero. It is a great place for families. There is some shade, bathrooms and an outdoor shower. We have gone there on every trip we have taken to Cayman. My son was 5 the first time and is now almost 16. We always see other families there too.

Was it hard to get a taxi to go to Smith Cove and were you able to get a taxi back easily?

Thanks for any info

We had no problem getting a cab there. We did walk back because we wanted to stop at Sunset House for a drink.

I did also check for you and the Cayman bus #6 or #7 (dark green line) goes from downtown to Smith Cove and it runs every 15 minutes (or so if you account for island time). I believe it is no more than $2-2.50 each way. If you google Grand Cayman bus schedule, you can look at the route.
