Seven Mile Beach

George Town, Grand Cayman, is the capital of the Cayman Islands, in the British West Indies. The town has a population of 20,626 (1999 estimates).

George Town is the heart of the Cayman Islands financial industry, with over 600 banks located there. Most of these are small one room operations, some having no physical location on the island at all. It also has cruise ship facilities, a cargo dock, a Hard Rock Cafe, and several shopping plazas.

The Cayman Islands  are a British overseas territory located in the western Caribbean Sea, comprising the islands of Grand Cayman, Cayman Brac, and Little Cayman. It is a major financial centre in the Caribbean.

Seven Mile Beach is central to shopping, restaurants, accomodations, and other amenities, making it perfect for a relaxing vacation. Nearby Georgetown has shops as well, for those who want to venture, but not far. Duty-free shopping makes the shopping experience that much more enjoyable.

The Blue Iguana Souvenir Outlet Store is unbashful in its approach to tourists. Bypassing a fancy or pretensious name, the outlet store blatantly offers the kinds of things that tourists want: "Been there" Cayman Island T-shirts, turtle keychains, coffee mugs, and those indispensible "My friend went to Seven Mile Beach and all I got was this magnet" refrigerator magnets. The stores boasts over 1,600 items, so take your time.

A step up (or maybe just over) is Silver City selling jewelry and all-things-silver gift items. Located in Georgetown, the store is about a mile from the Seven Mile Beach area. The prices are reasonable and all items are guaranteed sterling.

Walking into the Casa del Habano is like walking into a museum of sorts. A purveyors of high-quality cigars, the Casa has a locked humidor for the purpose of maintaining quality temperature and humidity control. There is also a cafe featuring gourmet coffee, where you can drink and puff, or puff and drink, whichever you prefer.

Seven Mile Beach (SMB) is a long crescent of coral-sand beach on the western shore of Grand Cayman island. The beach is world renowned for its beauty, recently receiving the honor of "The Caribbean's Best Beach" from Caribbean Travel and Life Magazine. SMB is the most popular and in turn, the most developed area of Grand Cayman and is home to the majority of the island's luxury resorts and hotels. Despite the name, the beach is only about 5.5 miles long and falls victim to annual erosion, which has reduced its size in some areas. Like the rest of Grand Cayman, the development around SMB was severely damaged in Hurricane Ivan in September 2004 but many condominiums & hotels are now running at full or almost full capacity.

Seven Mile Beach is public property, and it is possible to walk the full length past many hotels and villas. There are restaurants open to the public at most of the resorts, and several public beach bars. Some small reefs are located just off shore which offer good snorkelling, most notably by the Marriott hotel (an artificial reef), the Governor's residence, and just north of the public beach. There are few restrictions on use of the beach. Open grilling is allowed, and pets are free to roam the beach off leash. Loud music and public nudity are, however, strictly prohibited.

Directly to the south of Seven Mile Beach is George Town, the capital city of the Cayman Islands, while to the north is the town of West Bay, which features a turtle farm and the limestone formations of Hell.
