If you feel like a little day trip or an evening culinary adventure away from Silver Sands, a trip to Kaibo Yacht Club is right up your alley. If you are hungry after your adventure at Starfish Point, Kaibo is the perfect chilled out lunch spot with a killer view of the boats, docks and the Northside beach. They are also open for dinner and have some awesome evening events like the Luna del Mar full moon dinner, or the Beach BBQ. Below is a little virtual tour of this charming seaside beach bar. All information and photography comes from the Kaibo website.
"The oldest and the favorite local beach bar in Cayman Kai, Kaibo Beach Bar combines the feel of down-to-earth beach shack with a fine island establishment. First erected in the ’80s to serve drinks to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II on her tour of Grand Cayman, Kaibo Beach Bar’s charm remains intact, despite several transformations since. Kaibo Beach Grill serves local specialities all day, and the drinks are worth the discovery.
Kaibo Beach Bar is the heart of this unique piece of paradise. Kaibo Beach Bar is well known for its ice cold beer, devotedly covered by fresh mountains of ice, day and night. The attraction of Kaibo Beach is it’s distance from the tourist strip of Seven Mile Beach. The quickest way to travel is by boat, arriving at the dock in just 15-25 minutes from Camana Bay.
The drive from George Town is worth the picturesque journey, with historical Bodden Town, The Botanical Gardens and The Mastic Trail on the way. Wonderful friendly bar staff, retro beach signs on the back wall, free wifi, the Caribbean BBQ, live music on Tuesday, and the affordable all day island style menu are key qualities of Kaibo Beach Bar. Kaibo is nestled in the safe and quiet harbour of secluded Cayman Kai and the North Sound Nature Reserve, nearby Starfish Point."
"The menu is unpretentious, fresh and delicious. Beach Bar speciality drinks such as the Rare Rum Mojito, and the Premium Mudslide adorn the list of tropical cocktails to complete your beach experience.
At Kaibo, there’s always something fun going on at the beach…… and it’s decidedly unpretentious; a favourite with ‘beach bums’, off-duty professionals, watersport fanatics, rum afficionados, dog owners, relaxed families and of course the local Cayman Kai residents. Bioluminescence kayak tours and stand up paddle boards are available if you’re feeling active. If not, come to watch the boats pull into the marina, the boating crowd visit the gas station and then frequent the bar for their own refuelling. Even when the sunset crowd regulars pile into this paradise retreat there is always plenty of space on this white sand beach. From sunset Kaibo will fill up with regulars, but pull up a stool at the bar with arguably the best view on island, and you’ll be made to feel welcome. If you’re into live music, you’re in luck because every Tuesday night a local band plays on the beach, while the beach kitchen team prepare your dinner under a cabana for the eat-all you-can the BBQ."
LUNA DEL MAR
Kaibo Beach is a very special place, there are few places in this world where you can live out your desert island dreams of palm trees and white sand beaches, and still have a high class dining experience every month. With the global notoriety that the Luna Del Mar Party has gained as being one of the best beach dinners in the world, we get more than our fair share of ‘Luna Lovers’ gracing our shores. Each year the scene here grows with the ever-increasing number of chill-out faithful that return, bringing their loved-ones and spreading the vibe.
The Luna Del Mar monthly full moon dining experience is the ultimate celebratory 3- course sharing feast at Kaibo Beach. Dine under the stars to chill out beats, and enjoy the sky lantern display after dark.
