21. Starfish Point
A remote beach just off the northern coast of Cayman, Starfish Point attracts beautiful starfish to its turtle-grass-lined shores and emerald green, warm waters. Watch the sunset, wade in the water, and explore the sandy shoreline. Amenities: parking (no fee). Best for: solitude; sunset; walking.

22. Surfer's Beach
Sitting pretty along the South Sound, Surfer's Beach lures surfers and skimboarders to its occasional herculean waves and soft shoreline. Perfectly positioned for swell when there's a cold front, it's usually deserted and quiet, adding to its undeniable allure. This pristine coastline is ideal for watching adrenaline junkies ride the waves, sunbathing in solitude, and, at the end of the day, watching the sun dipping into the turquoise-streaked sea. Amenities: parking (no fee). Best for: solitude, sunset, surfing.

23. Water Cay
If you want an isolated, unspoiled beach, bear left at Rum Point at North Side, and follow the road to the end. When you pass a porte cochere for an abandoned condo development, you'll see the soft, sandy beach. Wade out knee deep and look for the large, flame-hued starfish. (Don't touch—just look.) Locals also call it Starfish or Ivory Point. Amenities: none. Best for: solitude; swimming.

24. West Bay Public Beach
Famous for its picturesque palm trees and aquamarine waters, West Bay's Public Beach is a popular tourist stop. With parking and picnic areas, it's a great choice for a day of beach-bumming. Zip around on a Jet Ski, or take some snaps just chilling on your lounger. This stunning crescent-shape beach offers incredible snorkeling and sunset views. Take a stroll out to the water's edge, where you can gaze at the brightly colored coral, or strap on your snorkel and expect to see blue tangs and other species of fish. Amenities: food and drink; parking (no fee); toilets; water sports. Best for: snorkeling; sunset; swimming; walking.

25. Wreck of the Ten Sail Park
This lonely, lovely park on Grand Cayman's windswept eastern tip commemorates the island's most (in)famous shipwreck. On February 8, 1794, the Cordelia, heading a convoy of 58 square-rigged merchant vessels en route from Jamaica to England, foundered on one of the treacherous East End reefs. Its warning cannon fire was tragically misconstrued as a call to band more closely together due to imminent pirate attack, and nine more ships ran aground. Local sailors, who knew the rough seas, demonstrated great bravery in rescuing all 400-odd seamen. Popular legend claims (romantically but inaccurately) that King George III granted the islands an eternal tax exemption. Queen Elizabeth II dedicated the park's plaque in 1994. Interpretive signs document the historic details. The ironically peaceful headland provides magnificent views of the reef (including more recent shipwrecks); bird-watching is superb from here half a mile south along the coast to the Lighthouse Park, perched on a craggy bluff.
