Snorkeling from Cayman Kai Beach to Rum Point?

Hi!

It's my turn to ask a question!!

I know that I've read some posts recently telling about a neat little snorkeling route to take from somewhere (?), ending up at the Rum Point Beach. Was the idea to leave from the Kaibo area and go along the shore up to Rum Point, or was it from the Cayman Kai Public Beach?

I've searched through some trip reports and other threads where I thought I read about this, but can't find it.

Shelly, it seems to me that it might have been you who posted about this, or maybe Northside Sue. Confused

Thanks!

Hi Char,

The late Jack Drew, one of my dad's closest friends and a long-time Cayman fanatic (and the one who introduced the Cayman Islands to our family Very Happy

Go Jack!!) used to stay in the Sea Lodges at the Cayman Kai Resort and would snorkel from there to Rum Point all the time. Dad said it was a really cool swim, and not too taxing if you took it slow and easy.

Wherever you start, it sounds like a great, relaxing excusrion.

ds is correct. We usually park by the Sea Lodges (we have friends there) and swim down to Rum Point, have a beverage and walk the beach back. But you could also park at the public beach, which is a few houses west of the Sea Lodges, and go from there.

This way you are swimming with the current, not against it.

Hope you all have a great vacation!

Thanks to both of you, DS and Sue!

I've snorkeled at that public beach a few times, years ago, but have never done this!

I think we're going to be doing a little more snorkeling than usual this year, because my niece and her husband (who aren't divers) will be with us for our second week, and we'll want to show them around and take them to some neat places. Snorkel

Thanks again!

Char
