Smith's Cove

Smith's Cove Review

South of the Grand Old House, this tiny but popular protected swimming and snorkeling spot makes a wonderful beach wedding location. The bottom drops off quickly enough to allow you to swim and play close to shore. Although slightly rocky (its pitted limestone boulders resemble Moore sculptures), there's little debris and few coral heads, plenty of shade, picnic tables, restrooms, and parking. Surfers will find some decent swells just to the south. Note the curious obelisk cenotaph "In memory of James Samuel Webster and his wife Arabella Antoinette (née Eden)", with assorted quotes from Confucius to John Donne. Local scuttlebutt calls it a place for dalliances during work hours; it's also a romantic sunset spot.

    Smith's Cove is one of my favorite places
    in Grand Cayman, for which I've been to seven times. It is a great place to get away from the crowds on Seven Mile Beach. It has trees for shade, restroom facilities, and showers. It's a beautiful place for a picnic, wedding,snorkeling, swimming, and watching a sunset. On a Sunday, you may see a local being baptized, as I have. Being a photographer, I've done photo shoots here, as it provides excellent backgrounds.
