Which Caribbean island is home to Seven Mile Beach, a famous coral-sand beach?

Seven Mile Beach is on Grand Cayman, the largest island of the Cayman Islands.

The beach runs along Grand Cayman’s western shore and is known for calm, clear water, coral sand, and resort development. Despite its name, modern measurements commonly place its length closer to about 6 miles (9.6 kilometers), making the name a traditional description rather than an exact measurement.

Grand Cayman is one of three main Cayman Islands, along with Cayman Brac and Little Cayman. George Town, the territory’s capital, lies on the same island, near the southern end of the beach.

A common mix-up is assuming Seven Mile Beach is in the Cayman Islands’ capital or is an entire island. It is a coastal beach on Grand Cayman. The Cayman Islands are a British Overseas Territory in the western Caribbean, south of Cuba and northwest of Jamaica.
