    Thanks for the video, this was really helpful for planning my upcoming cruise to Grand Cayman in March. My wife and I were there over 20 years ago and rented a Jeep to explore on our own, and I vaguely remember renting it near the cruise port. Based on some searches, it seems like all the rental cars are now out at the airport. Is that accurate, or are there car rental opportunities closer to north terminal? Thanks again, loved the video and advice!

    • @theevanpyle

    Hi Evan, when the bus driver drops you off at the Public Beach, how do you at that point locate 'Coral Beach' (for example) on 7 mile Beach? Or any other specific beach on 7 mile? Do you have to walk the beach to locate them?

    It really looks like everything closed due to the pandemic. Margaritaville, Calico Jacks, and others that allowed cruise passengers to use their facilities. Are there any now that offer day passes? Are there any restaurants or areas on the beach that you recommend? I always loved the beach there.
