So you want to get away from the crowds of 7 mile beach huh? I've got the perfect spot for you. Smith's Cove. This little honey of a beach is extremely hard to find. I drove past this beach 10 times looking for it, I asked the people at Don Fosters where it was & I still couldn't find it. I finally stopped at Pure Art and they gave me perfect directions to find it. Thus, you know that when you do finally arrive here, you WILL be protected from all the crowds and hooplah, lol. Smith Cove is not a large beach area, but is large enough to hold a number of families wanting to get away from it all without disturbing the other groups. It is also another good snorkeling spot. So you not only have your choice of lounging around soaking in the rays, but you can don on those fins & mask and enjoy that wonderful underwater world the caymans has to offer.
Smith Cove is located on South Sound Road. The locals will tell you that it is located right across the street from the big castle. What they call castle's are what us american's call plantations. Park in the parking lot right next to the castle/plantation and walk across the street. Please look both way's. We want to see all our friends back here on VT! :-)

There is a gelato place called "Antica Gelateria" that has authentic Italian Gelato.It is sort of set back in a shopping center,but it is the best gelato I have ever had and the prices are reasonable.It feels like you've stepped into a European cafe or something.Everything was brought over from Italy, and we talked to the family who runs the place and they are extremely nice people.One day I saw them in the supermarket buying all their fresh ingredients so believe them when they say it is fresh.

Look around carefully and you will see these chicks wandering all around the island. Guess what they escape their cages after the hurricane Ivan struck in 2004 and since them they are roaming the island quite freely and enjoying their freedom until someone decides to make a meal out of them.

Its mostly a place to go and relax at the beach, snorkel and hang out at the pool. Probably the most casual beach destination I have ever been on..
Not much to do and see here except unwind, and that is precisely why we choose Grand Cayman.
Every little store inlet has a few off the beaten path things to see- cool and funky local artist hubs selling art work, ornaments, t shirts, dolls etc. Mainstream stores that sell different items than back home. Rum cakes, rum cakes, rum cakes!! Most pharmacys and mini stores sell them! Leave a Comment

A fun thing to do is go to the town of Hell. The proprietor of the local general store dresses up in a devil costume every day. He's also the local postmaster, so you can send postcards to your friends, family, and yourself from Hell. Leave a Comment

Ask a concierge, talk to a local, do a little research and you'll find a real deal!
We asked around for a better deal than what we were originally offered and were told of a 40-foot boat called "Double Trouble" out of the Kaibo Yacht Club, piloted by Captain Daniel and his brother Allan. Most large boats are fully booked for weekends, we went on a Thursday afternoon. For a measly US $100 apiece, they took us out for over 6 1/2 hours! We snorkeled the northern end of West Bay, we fished for snapper (sadly, no luck) and watched the sun set! We brought our own food and beverages (part of the deal) but it was WELL worth it. Allan was a great guide and provided the coolers full of ice and led us to the best snorkeling locations (small wave action, very little current, great water clarity). He even fed a few green Moray eels to keep us entertained! (Be warned: the green Moray eels are VERY wild and should never be approached by anyone that doesn't know how to handle themselves against an aggressive eel!)
I hope this helps!
