Here's what worked for other parents in Grand Cayman

Bring the stroller for

Camana Bay — Purpose-built, flat sidewalks, shops, restaurants
Seven Mile Beach boardwalk sections — Where paved, excellent
Cayman Turtle Centre — Flat, accessible, family attraction

Use a carrier for

Beach sand everywhere — Not stroller-compatible
George Town on cruise ship days — Extremely crowded
East End — More rural, less infrastructure

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.
