20 Most Beautiful Beaches in the World

Seven Mile Beach, Grand Cayman

Located in the Western Caribbean, Grand Cayman’s trio of tiny islands blend West Indian charm and continental sophistication. Its crown jewels are Seven Mile Beach, Stingray City and Little Cayman’s legendary Bloody Bay wall.

Generally regarded as one of the finest beaches in the Caribbean, Seven Mile Beach (also known as West Bay Beach) is a long stretch of soft powder-white sand fringed by casuarinas, Australian pine trees and palms. The water is crystal clear and calm, making it a great spot to swim, sunbathe or snorkel.

Though it may seem overwhelming, you can pick your own spot along the nine-mile stretch of sand and make your way to any one of the dozens of luxury resorts, beach bars or seafood eateries that line the coastline. But beware – Seven Mile Beach is a highly populated beach, so you may have to fight for a spot in the sand.
