East End Beaches:
Grand Cayman’s Places for Chillin’

Grand Cayman’s East End beaches are places for fishing, relaxing, and chillin’ out for the most part.

With the exception of the Morritts and Reef Resorts beaches, they’re quiet and unpopulated, which is great for that ‘getting-away-from-it-all’ vacation you’ve been planning for yourself.

This beach and pier is at Rum Point, which is more North Side than East End but it’s a good lead in to the photos on the page.

Staying at Morritt’s resort gave us ample opportunity to walk and paddle along these beautiful beaches. And they are beautiful beaches, even though no one seems to go on them much.

This is the beach as it leaves Morritts Grand heading south.

East End beaches, Grand Cayman, the beach at Morritt's resort

The beaches aren’t just sandy, though they mostly are, even here between Morritts and the Reef Resort there’s enough rocky places for wildlife to live. But where they are sandy, it’s a soft, white sand like the beach below at Collier’s Bay, just south of Morritts.

Sand is what attracts people and it also attracts some birds, particularly, frigate birds.

And also some less spectacular ones. These sandpipers were tame enough for us to walk past without them taking flight, which too makes for a feeling of a Robinson Crusoe idyllic retreat.

Coe-Wood Public Beach

Coe-Wood public beach is on the road east at Bodden Town, the old capital.

Further round the point from Morritts and The Reef, the beaches grow even quieter. We never saw anyone on some of them. It was like being Adam and Eve on vacation. That feeling can be quite scary if you’re not used to it. However, remembering that nowhere on this island is more than 45 minutes from George Town with all its amenities does help settle the nerves.

Breakers at Breakers

At the aptly named village of Breakers, the beach isn’t so quiet. There’s no offshore reef to calm the waves so even on sunny, pleasant days, they roll in all the way from the Atlantic and send spray flying onto the road. At this point, the road is pretty well on the beach anyhow.

Below is a way to tour the beaches — by boat (though car, bike, scooter and bus work just as well 🙂
