Our palm trees and casurina trees are not only lush and outrageously tropically beautiful, but they offer some wonderful natural shade to enjoy.

Summer in the Cayman Island means calm crystal clear water to one side and a giant passing thunder cloud to the other. Summer storms are gorgeous to watch from under a thatched hut on our gorgeous and spacious beach.

Authentically made Silver Thatched roofing. Nothing like it, keeps the heat our, shelter from the sun and rain, gorgeous to look at and a beautiful piece of Cayman heritage to gaze upon.

As quiet as our beach is, there is always someone watching, like our resident chickens! They are harmless and some even friendly but they stick to themselves and are happy and free chickens.

The Pinks: These pink sunsets were taken a 2 days after Hurricane Grace passed over Grand Cayman. It was by far the worst storm we have had in years, but Silver Sands made it out ok, except our iconic mango tree by the office, we will surely miss that!! And for those that are wondering and concerned about 7-Mile sand going missing, well we always have loads! Silver Sands was built so long ago, and set back at a safe distance from the beach. This building style allows for the sand to come and go naturally unlike sea walls or buildings that are literally built on the sand which then causes the sand to disappear and not return. We are so grateful for our grounds that carry with it the Old Cayman Charm (and beach!)

The Blues: The blues at our beach are honestly some of the most brilliant on the whole island. When you stay here you look at the water, especially in the morning, and it is just an incredible shade of blue. It never ever gets old and in a way mesmerizing. For sun lovers you can sit on the loungers in the bright sun and for shade lovers we have so much natural shade from the traditionally silver thatched palm huts as well as the palm trees and casurinas that allow a perfect view but from a cool shady spot. 

The Greens: With rainy season from about May-October the Cayman Islands experiences almost daily showers. Sometimes in West Bay, sometimes in South Sound, sometimes for 5 minutes and sometimes all over the island for the whole day! And let's not even mention hurricanes. But for the most part coming to visit Cayman in the summer is a lovely time of year as all the greenery is getting the water it needs. The Seagrape tree is a gorgeous native coastal tree to the Cayman Islands. We have a few on the property at Silver Sands, can you find them? They are most notable when the grapes are fruiting. Can you spot the ripe grapes ready for pickin'!? Caymanians eat them off the tree and make a delicious jam. The Cayman Parrots also LOVE them and can pick a tree clean of the ripe fruits in no time.

West Bay Dock: Where 7-Mile Beach Begins

West Bay Public Beach and Dock is located at the far north end of Grand Cayman's famous 7-Mile beach and just a 5 minute drive from Silver Sands Condos.

Besides enjoying the blue water and white sand beach as is typical of 7-Mile Beach, West Bay Beach and Dock are special as you also have the old textured dock, ironshore rocks, colorful cabanas and an array of locals and tourists enjoying this charming little public beach making it a nice place to hang out and people watch.

The Wild Chickens of Cayman

While enjoying the lush grounds of Silver Sands you might notice a flock of feathered friends roaming about. The chickens of Grand Cayman are wild, harmless and add that much more character to our little island. You can find them literally everywhere, from the parking lots of banks and supermarkets, to public beaches and the bush and even (disturbingly) hanging outside of KFC... if they only knew!

Some people will eat them as they are a good organic option! However it is said that their meat can be quite tough and needs to be slow cooked.

Two of the downsides to having these guys roaming free is that they don't mind what hour of the day it is, they like to make noise! 3am.... cock-a-doodle-doo!! Also they tend to hand by the sides of the road and bolt to the other side often times making them roadkill. Poor guys.

Best of Cayman Travel Guide

There is a new guide in town, a high end guide to the very best, and their name says it all, THE BEST of CAYMAN! 

Striving to support local, independent businesses, Best of Cayman is a collection of hand picked things to do, places to eat, drink & visit throughout the Cayman Islands. We want to create something that inspires people to visit new places and help local, independent businesses find new customers.

We personally visit every business recommended in the guide which means, if we recommend somewhere, then our customers know they can trust our opinions based on our own experiences.

Quality is behind everything we do and we will never compromise on the quality of our work. We take every photograph ourselves to ensure that the quality is consistently high. We worry about the details from the thickness of the paper to the size of each font we use.

A picture paints a thousand words, so photography is the chosen medium to tell a story behind each of our recommendations. By bringing each business to life our aim is to inspire people to visit them themselves.

Our website, app and book are simple and user friendly. We want the medium to get out of the way so you can focus on finding great places to visit, and awesome things to do.

We want to become the most trusted travel brand in the Caribbean. Not the biggest but the most respected. We want to inspire millions of people to find new places to eat, drink and visit across these beautiful islands.

We have poured our heart and soul into making our website as easy to use and as beautiful as it can be. We are adding over fifty new attractions to the site each month, each of which we visit and photograph ourselves. We have optimised the site for search engines as well as mobile devices and currently the website experiences over 250,000 page views per month with a bounce rate of less than 1%.

We want to make it easy for visitors to our islands to discover the businesses we recommend which is why we developed the Best of Cayman App. The app includes hundreds of photos, contact details for each business and a Google map to help find each attraction. What’s more, once downloaded you don’t need a data connection to use it.

Coming Fall 2017 our first travel guide brings the Best of Cayman together into a small but mighty guide containing over 150 of our hand picked recommendations including places to visit, places to eat, things to do and more. And, crucially there is no advertising. As with everything else we do, we have taken great care with every detail of the design, even when selecting the right thickness, texture and finish of the paper.

Cayman, the Land of Submarines!

There is so much here in Cayman that you can enjoy if you want to do a little day excursion from Silver Sands. The submarine is an activity for everyone young and old! Enjoy the pleasant drive down 7-Mile Beach into Georgetown, hop on the submarine shuttle and enjoy a 20 min surface boat ride to where the submarine is moored, and then enter into the submarine for your underwater adventure!

"The Cayman Islands are one of the top scuba diving destinations in world, and with Atlantis Submarines, you don't have to be a scuba diver to experience the underwater world. The 48 passenger Atlantis Submarine offers a unique but relative option for anyone seeking things to do in the Cayman Islands.

Our guests are treated to the captivating experience of a real submarine dive, in air-conditioned comfort, while discovering coral canyons and brilliant tropical fish of Cayman's National Marine Park to depths of 100 ft.

Day time and Night time departures are offered.

The Seaworld Observatory is a 40 passenger Semi-Submarine, designed and built specifically for Atlantis Inc. for viewing of the shallower reefs.

Guests simply descend into the observatory and enter a wall-to-wall glass-viewing chamber five feet below the surface, gazing at teeming shallow reefs and shipwrecks.

Atlantis Submarines is a sure place for things to do in Grand Cayman that will make your vacation unique, relevant, and memorable."
