Things to do in Little Cayman, Cayman Islands: The Best Reefs

April 28, 2022 Kaleigh Reichenbach

With a population of only about 125 people, Little Cayman, an island of coral and sand that just got electricity in 1990, is an absolute paradise of beaches, lagoons, lush foliage and amazing diving. Jacques Cousteau declared Little Cayman's waters to be among the top three diving sites in the world. Reefs, shipwrecks and Little Cayman's Bloody Bay Wall, considered the Caribbean's most sensational wall dive, create unforgettable dips. Walk or rent a bike to get around the ten-mile-long island.

Famous dive spot in Little Cayman.

Great dive today with my 16 y/o son and the crew at Conch Club Divers. Saw a nurse shark, turtle feasting on the wall, juvenile drum, school of about 30 squid, a handful of small crabs and other macro. Terrific wall dive.

This was my favorite dive site this trip. The ocean was a smooth as glass the day I went. Lots of variety as far as things to see here. This site is ideal for snorkeling as well as diving.

Point of Sand

An uncrowded beach at the eastern tip of Little Cayman.

Reviewed By PaulA487

Lovely beach at the northeast end of Little Cayman. Worth the 15-20 minute drive from the airport. Take the road on the left after you turn in from the main road. (Despite the private property sign, the sign goes on to say that the owner permits the public to use so long as you respect the land.) A covered area is available with a BBQ pit and there is usually a few beach loungers around for the public's use. Great white sand beach and sandy entry into the water.

Jackson Point

Famous dive spot in Little Cayman.

Reviewed By H2387KYdaveb

Jackson Point is a well known spot for shore-entry snorkeling. It's on north coast road at the end of Olivine Kirk Drive. You can drive a car down a narrow path but no way to tell if the VERY small ( like 2 car) parking lot is full. Be careful because there are sometimes black spiny sea urchins that will penetrate feet (easily) and lightweight rubber booties (also easily). While this is private property it is ok to use it; follow the signage to the "public" area and please clean up after yourself.
