There’s something magical about sipping a cool cocktail while your toes are buried in warm sand, isn’t there? As an avid traveler and beach lover, I’ve had the pleasure of visiting countless beach bars, but the grand cayman beach bars hold a special place in my heart.
Today I share with you a few options available where you can enjoy signature cocktails, classic caribbean dishes, steep drink prices, because well, it’s Grand Cayman, and if you are lucky some live music!
Let’s get into the short list of you places you can enjoy some cocktails!
Tortuga Beach Grill & Bar
Let’s set our sights on yet another beach bar gem in Grand Cayman, Tortuga Beach Grill & Bar. Beach chairs are readily available, enhancing the overall experience at Tortuga Beach Grill & Bar.
Nestled majestically on the widest part of Grand Cayman’s Seven Mile Beach, Tortuga Beach Grill & Bar serves up an unmatched outdoor dining experience that’s pretty laid-back. Trust me, their lunch and dinner menus are exploding with taste.
Kaibo Beach Restaurant
Venturing away from Seven Mile Beach, let’s head to Kaibo Beach Restaurant, the epitome of a luxury beach dining experience in Grand Cayman.
Contemporary Caribbean
Venturing into the heart of Kaibo, I am greeted with the tantalizing allure of “Escape the Ordinary”. This is more than just a romantic tagline; Kaibo lives it by crafting a luxurious beach club experience that outshines many in the Cayman Islands. Be it the triad of exceptional restaurants, the exciting duo of event beaches, the rare rum members club, or the transformative power of music and art, every aspect of Kaibo blends into a harmonious beach-chic design.
Coral Beach, a popular boutique-style venue on Seven Mile Beach, is also known for its Caribbean-style food and signature cocktails. I can’t help but rave about their extraordinary establishments and offerings.
Ritz Carlton Seven Mile Beach Bars
For people staying at the Ritz Carlton, the bar formerly known as Bar Jack is now called Saint June.
Saint June
Continuing our beach bar journey, we drift ashore at Saint June, nestled comfortably on the ever enchanting Seven Mile Beach. This spot perfectly balances elegance and ease, providing an ideal setting to unwind and enjoy, offering a relaxed island vibe similar to the waterfront bars in George Town. Not quite beach bar material but it’s in the hotel which sits in front of the seven mile beach area.
Driftwood Bar & Grill
Let’s travel a bit further up, away from the bustling Seven Mile Beach, to another top favorite–the Driftwood Bar & Grill located at the Grand Caymanian Resort. Driftwood Bar & Grill is located in the picturesque area of West Bay, ideal for enjoying waterfront views.
American Caribbean Fusion
Settled right by the North Sound, Driftwood Bar & Grill excellently blends Caribbean and American culinary cultures. Visiting for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, you’ll uncover immersive, home-style tastes carefully intertwined with the exotic flavors of the Caribbean. This fusion creates a unique dining experience worth savoring over an enchanting waterfront view.
Rum Point Club
Continuing our tour of the finest beach bars in Grand Cayman, let’s now move towards the tranquil shores of Rum Point, where we encounter the fabulous Rum Point Club. Rum Point Club is home to the famous Wreck Bar, known for its tropical drinks and local cuisine.
American & Island Inspired Cuisine
Nestled on the serene coastline, the Rum Point Club is more than just a go-to spot for drinks. It’s home to the sublime Solis Restaurant and the invigoratingly vibrant Rum Deck. Here, you can indulge in the diverse range of American and island-inspired cuisine. From savory daybed and cabana snacks to hearty beach game meals and flavorsome watersport treats ‒ both your taste buds and your adventurous spirit are sure to be delighted.
Rum Point/Cayman Kai
Rum Point, along with the nearby Cayman Kai, provides visitors with a much-needed escape from the island’s busy hotspots. Thoughtfully set-up for relaxation and leisure, it offers a range of services including daybed and cabana rentals, adrenaline-pumping beach games, and thrilling options for watersports. Whether you’re in pursuit of a quiet day under the Caribbean sun or an exciting day on the water, Rum Point Club is your perfect haven. So, kick back and let the gentle waves of the sea calm your senses. Let’s dig deeper into what’s on offer in this stunning setting through the eyes of a local: me.
Coccoloba
Sitting pretty on Grand Cayman’s mesmerizing Seven Mile Beach, there’s Coccoloba – a Mexican beachfront bar and grill with a distinct island twist. Coccoloba offers a similar vibrant atmosphere and picturesque setting as Tiki Beach Bar on Seven Mile Beach. They offer a “Taco & Tequila Tuesday’s” which is always popular.
Coccoloba, a gem nestled on the flawless shores of Grand Cayman’s Seven Mile Beach, offers the best of both worlds. It’s a perfect fusion of coastal Mexican vibes and island life charm. They’ve managed to combine Latin street food and Caribbean seafood like no other place on the island. Picture this. You’re savoring flavorful tacos and crunchy tostadas while sipping on refreshing margaritas, beside the azure Caribbean sea. It’s an experience not to miss when you’re in the Grand Cayman.
Here is our full review of Cocoloba Cayman. We loved this place!
Tillies
Located in the Palm Heights hotel, you can’t go wrong at Tillie’s. We recently enjoyed dinner there and had a great time taking in the sunset and enjoying their expansive menu in the very serene setting nestled among their modern hotel vibes and green, lush landscaping. Read about our experience here.
The cool thing about Tillie’s is that they offer three square meals every day! You can enjoy breakfast, lunch, or dinner and enjoy an expansive menu featuring classics, as well as fish, steaks, and local fare.
So there you have it! I’ve taken you on a flavorful journey across Grand Cayman’s best beach bars. We’ve savored the fusion of Caribbean and American flavors at Driftwood Bar & Grill, enjoyed the serene beachside dining at Rum Point Club, and spiced things up at Coccoloba with its tantalizing blend of Latin street food and Caribbean seafood.
