West Bay is a lively district on Grand Cayman’s northwest coast, known for its mix of local culture and tourism. It combines residential neighbourhoods and small businesses with attractions like the Cayman Turtle Centre, scenic coastal roads, sea-facing parks and limestone shorelines. The area has family-run restaurants, craft shops and roadside vendors, plus easy access to Seven Mile Beach to the south and quieter beaches and dive spots to the north — a good choice for visitors who want both local character and convenient tourist facilities.
