Barefoot Beach - Fri, 19 May 2023, 12:30pm
This afternoon we're continuing our driving tour around the far side of Grand Cayman. Here's a map of our route so far:
We left this morning from our hotel on Seven Mile Beach and drove to Rum Point. There wasn't a lot there but we found plenty nearby at Starfish Point. Plenty of sea creatures, that is!
Now we're working our way clockwise around the edge of the island. We stopped for a quick lunch along the way. It's so rustic out here that there aren't more than a few restaurants... so we bought heat-lamp food from a convenience store in the tiny town of North Side... and walked down a slight slope from the parking lot to eat on the edge of the beach!
Our next stop was the Good Mood Swing.
I'm not sure why this is here but we stopped for pictures. And to swing a bit. 😅 I'll have to get a pic of me swinging off Hawk's phone later.
After the swing we continued our drive around to a spot marked Anchor Point Thermal Vents, near Barefoot Beach. It took a bit of hunting even to figure out where to park.
On Grand Cayman's rustic East End beach access trails are often marked with small signs. And parking? Ha. If you're lucky the access trail is a dirt road you can park on. Sometimes it's just a foot trail, and you park wherever you can on the side of the road. Fortunately it's not exactly crowded out here, as you can see in the photo above.
More to come!
