Watch Out For
⚠️Beach sand everywhere
Grand Cayman scores 66/100 on our stroller-friendliness scale. Below you'll find a full breakdown of terrain, transit accessibility, and family facilities — plus neighborhood-level tips and stroller vs. carrier advice for Grand Cayman.
📋 The Bottom Line
Grand Cayman is one of the Caribbean's most family-friendly destinations. The island is completely flat, Seven Mile Beach has some boardwalk sections, and the infrastructure is notably better than most Caribbean islands. Camana Bay is a purpose-built waterfront town with perfect sidewalks and family amenities. The island is safe, English-speaking, and prosperous. The Cayman Turtle Centre is family-friendly. Main drawback is car dependency (no real public transit) and the inevitable beach sand issue. Cruise ship days can make George Town very crowded.
