Cemetery Beach offers terrible snorkelling, aggressive nipping Bermuda Chub, a dangerous cross walk, and is the deadliest spot for in-water activity in the Cayman Islands. It shouldn’t be on anyone’s top ten list.
Oh PLEASE! I’m a healthy 30 year old and it’s one of the best to snorkel.
If you’re age 75+ and at risk of a sudden cardiovascular medical emergency, you shouldn’t be doing strenuous activities in the ocean period.
One of the best…in comparison to Nebraska? There are MUCH better places to snorkel, including some that actually feature live fish and coral!
That’s why you’re going to helpfully list them all out below.
Snorkel in Nebraska… really? Where are you – Indonesia, India, Pakistan? Learn about the country you are posting about.
Sorry CNS, but this shouldn’t even been posted!
CNS: Apparently, they don’t do sarcasm where you’re from.
Governor’s beach has a live reef right in front that offers that and it’s a stone’s throw down the road, but my god, untwist your panties Karen.
Been to the Caymans multiple times. This is still one of the best places to snorkel. Two weeks ago I saw two large clusters of turtles mating, multiple lobsters, a nurse shark, barracuda and lots of other marine life
Anything else?
Very sad news. May he Rest In Peace.
