A beautiful church with stain glass windows. Open all hours just to sit for 5 minutes and meditate. A little gem. Worth spending time to visit.

Artifacts has all kinds of antique items. Yet the ancient Greek, Roman, and shipwreck coins are the best items to view and purchase. I purchased an antique string of graduated pearls for my wife that were from 1920. They are so cool! If you come to George Town, skip the shirt shops and go into this shop for a real Caribbean experience.

My husband and I snorkeled around the Cove and saw beautiful fish and sea urchins. There were so many different types of fish we could not keep count.

Great place to enjoy some relaxing time on the beach and get in some good snorkeling at a reef that is easily accessible from the beach. We were visiting Grand Caymen on a cruise ship and while most passengers gravitated to Calico Jacks or Royal Palms, we headed further away along Seven Mile Beach and had a very different and enjoyable experience away from the crowds. As pointed out by others, there are no facilities at the beach. However there are a number of trees available and plenty of shade if that is preferred. There was a couple picnic tables available as well. We put our beach towels down and enjoyed a beautiful relaxing day at a not too crowded beach. Bring your own drinks and food and snorkel gear. I snorkeled for about an hour with plenty of fish to see all around the reef which is located about 100 yards from the beach. Beach access is along a foot path just to the north of the cemetery. Getting back to our ship was easy on the public bus with a bus stop right across the main road from the cemetery. $2.50 per person for the 15-20 min ride back to Georgetown. This was much quicker than the "taxi" we were loaded into at the port which made several stops to drop off the other 20 passengers before arriving at Cemetery Beach.

I was impressed by the National Gallery. The space is lovely and decently sized. The permanent collection upstairs was bolder and more exciting than I might have expected, and there was a great retrospective on the painter generally viewed as Cayman's greatest living artist. And no admission fee--bonus!

Governors Beach was a beautiful day spot for our family during our cruise stop to Grand Cayman. We utilized the public bus to and from the port area, which was an easy walk and overall convenient and affordable means of transportation. The beach was clean, not too crowded and very beautiful. Snorkeling was also very nice at this location.
