Looking for a Beach or Snorkeling in Grand Cayman

Looking for a Beach or Snorkeling in Grand Cayman that is within walking distance

of the Carnival Cruise Port?

Do you want beach or snorkeling?  Because the conditions that give the best snorkeling are lousy for beach.

 

There is good advanced level snorkeling within walking distance of the port at Eden Rock.  Google or a search in this forum will get you lots of information on that location.

 

There are no real beaches within what I would term a reasonable walk from the cruise port.  Technically you could walk it, but the closest would be the half hour walk (in the heat with limited sidewalks) to Smith Cove or the hour plus (again in heat but with sidewalks) to the closest end of Seven Mile Beach.  Again, lots of posts here about the various beach spots along Seven Mile Beach, and there should be a few about Smith Cove too.

 

The Governors Beach section of Seven Mile has at least mediocre snorkeling that would be good for beginners, and good beach, but no facilities.  You’d really need a bus or taxi to get there, though.
