Spotts Beach
A lesser-known public beach on the south coast, where wild green sea turtles often feed on seagrass beds just offshore, visible while snorkeling.
Spotts Beach is on the South Side, about a 15-minute drive east of George Town. Just outside the beach, in the reef flat, there is a seagrass bed where wild green sea turtles often feed. They are most easily spotted in the early morning and mid-morning, making this a popular spot for swimming with wild turtles on Grand Cayman. The beach has a gazebo and parking but no commercial facilities. Conditions are affected by southerly winds, and swimming is not advised when waves are high. When observing turtles, keep your distance and do not chase or touch them.
