Not too far from Grand Cayman’s legendary Seven Mile Beach is another terrific one: West Bay Public Beach.
Best known as the launching point for dives of the nearby Kittiwake wreck site, this beautiful stretch of sand is calm, quiet and less traveled than its more famous sibling.
Here’s what it’s like to take a walk on the beach.

The only thing better than lobster is, well, more lobster.
That’s definitely the case at Deckers Caribbean Inspired Grille in Grand Cayman, which has cultivated one of the Caribbean’s best-kept culinary secrets.
Every Tuesday and Saturday evening, the Seven Mile Beach institution, famous for its large model double-decker bus on the bar, offers “All You Can Eat Lobster” Night, which serves up unlimited lobster tails.
That’s right — while traditional Caribbean spiny lobster is abundant throughout the region, this is the first eatery we’ve found that offers an all-you-can-eat lobster experience with regularity.
That’s right — unlimited lobster.
And the lobster is terrific — the tails come three or four per plate, served with drawn butter, potato mash and vegetables.
The meat is soft, tender and fresh, and the minute you finish the last tail on a plate, your server arrives with another collection of tails.
Deckers’ chefs prepare the food on lobster night.
It’s also joined by your choice of either a caesar salad or lobster bisque.
The only difficulty is knowing when to stop.
We’re still trying to figure that one out.

There’s something new to see at St. Barth’s Le Guanahani, thanks to a collaboration between a pair of top artists.
Inspired by the St. Barth’s resort’s ongoing 30th anniversary year, artists JonOne and Richard Orlinski have unveiled two striking works of art at the beachfront property.
An American graffiti artist who has lived and worked in Paris since 1987, JonOne created a unique work of art for the event– “an explosion of vitality and color offering a Dionysian celebration of lines enmeshed within a maze of visual and touch-sensitive explosions.”
JonOne describes himself as an “abstract expressionist graffiti painter.”
Since 2011, he has worked with the foundation Abbé Pierre in the fight against poverty, and in 2016 he earned France’s highest honor as a Chevalier de la Légion d’Honneur.
Sculptor Richard Orlinski, “a believer that beauty can invert violence into positive feelings,” has tapped his “Born Wild” concept to create a work of art in the signature colors of Le Guanahani, with two alligators fighting for the “G.”
Orlinski’s works are found in collections around the world, and ArtPrice has ranked him as one of the top ten most sold French artists worldwide since 2011.
