Beach Bar on 7 mile beach

On my last visit to Grand Cayman (2001), I came accross a AWESOME beach bar (not 10 feet from the water). It was a rather large square- shaped bar with a HUGE selection of rums, foo-foo drinks, etc. There was also an open-pit BBQ there serving some of the BEST jerk chicken, rice & beans I have ever had. (Being able to eat it on the beach was an added bonus). They also rented lounge chairs & floating mats, and you could see your ship anchord off Georgetown from the beach.

Does anyone know if this place still exists? I'm hoping to go back there on my next trip to GC in Feb 2005:-)

PS: I've recently seen a picture posted on http://www.webshots.com that looked like this place, and it was titled "Palm Springs beach bar on seven mile beach".

Thanks so much for any help.

I would like to know too Annie...I am trying to find a good place to sit and have drinks on a beach...I tried to "google" and couldn't find anything named Palm Springs. I would love to know about this place sounds like just what I am looking for. Thanks for any help! :)

Thanks cruiseman...I already looked on that site and couldn't find the place in question...thanks anyway! :)

Sea Grape beach offers an outdoor bar and dining right on the beach. They also rent gear. You can see the ships from there. Don't know if it is the place you are thinking of (I don't recall a BBQ pit), but it might do. There is a taxi drop right there and some free shade shelters as well.

Ellya Thanks! I definelty will try that one out...I heard from someone else about this place and they too said it was very nice and lot's of fun. Thanks again!

We are going on the same ship in December, would you post when you get back about what you decide to do in GC?? Would love to see if you find it since we would also like to go..

Sure will! I can't wait! Have a good trip!

You too! I really enjoy RCCL and can't wait to see the towel creations!

cantwait this is my first time on RCCL. I cant wait to see the ship! Finally down to single digits! I will post a review when I get back. :)

I think your trying to describe "The Royal Palms" which was lost to Ivan. There's a new place called Calico Jacks on public beach that has the same feel.

Thanks Mark! :)

Hi, Can you tell me more about Calico Jacks? Is it open now we'll be in GC on 12/9...Wanted to go to Rum Point but it isn't open yet.... What would I ask a taxi driver for to go to Calico Jacks?.....what facilities do they have there?.....Thanks for any help! JoAnn

Mark: I too am interested in knowing about Calico Jacks & will be on Cayman on Thurs. Dec 2 -- has it taken over the Royal Palms location or will RP be rebuilt? Is Treehouse rebuilding? We're (group of 8 adults) going with Sotos in AM & to beach afterward, so want more info on both Sea Grape & Calico Jacks. What foods offered at each?

Been to Cayman many times, last time being Dec 04 & don't think Sea Grape was there then!!

Thanks for the link to the restaurants. My DH and I found a neat little pub last time we were there and hope to find it again. Unfortunately, we don't remember the name of it.
