Local supermarket with lots on offer. They have a hot food section, should you want take-out. Alternatively, the Fosters down on The Strand has more choice of 'Western' style foods.

Alcohol sales - most outlets are the same price everywhere, but rum is cheaper at Blackbeards. We like the coconut rum from here! Also good range of beers.

Although it is a bulk-buy type of place, the meat, veg and deli sections are very good value and quality. We always buy steaks and meat for the BBQ from here.

Their Sunday Brunch is legendary, although you might need to book! The all-you-can-drink champagne from 11am til 3pm is surprisingly good with an amazing view out over Seven Mile!

If you want take-out jerk pork or chicken, this is the only place I would ever go. You know if they're open from the smoke from the BBQ. Very local and authentic, just watch out for crazy cyclists on the wrong side of the road. Bring home, add your own sides from Fosters and enjoy by the pool!

Wild wilderness! Always quiet, beach is not wide, but good to walk along in peace and quiet. Look out for the kite surfers and also you may spot the horse treks that go for a swim (yes, horses swimming with riders!).

Drinks & Nightlife
Happy hour drinks are 4-6 I think... also good for burgers and bar food. Nice booths for families, but often gets busy as it's opposite the Westin Hotel.

Cocktail bar on the beach, part of the Kimpton Seafire resort. More up-market than Calico's and the Sea Smoke cocktail is very good.

THE beach bar in Cayman! Always busy on cruise ship days, but quietens off around 3pm and before the evening starts. You're never under-dressed, tables on the beach, bar food and plenty of beer. Their Full Moon parties are notorious (you've been warned!).

Sightseeing
