Getting Around
Take your pick on Seven Mile Beach: taxi or rental car, pedal or foot power. They're all good options.
Car Rental
A car is not necessary to enjoy Seven Mile Beach, but it is handy if you'd like to tour the entire stretch of beach and venture to other areas of Grand Cayman. Rentals are available at several nearby agencies; most offer free pickup and dropoff at Seven Mile Beach. Rentals begin at about US $30 per day. A temporary driver's license is required; you can obtain this from the rental agency by presenting a valid driver's license and paying the US $7.50 fee. You must be 21 or over to rent a vehicle; some agencies require renters to be 25 years of age.
Scooters
A popular way to buzz around the island is on a scooter. You must have riding experience to rent one; expect to pay about $25 per day. A permit is required.
